The void in my heart beats so strongly today as I remember this date year after year without you. You are adored by so many and I smile at your humor that was pretty dry but made me laugh anyway. I have only the good times to remember, some sad but they are the only memories I have. You were my baby and I wanted to protect you but as you got older and on your own I wasn't able to do that. A mothers love for her children runs deeper than the oceans and mine is no different. I can't wait to see you & Laurie & Mom and Dad and the rest of our family that has passed. Death no longer scares me because I have so much love to look forward to when I get to heaven. 

Jeremy, here we are again...another year slips by us and our family can only gather to remember you with loving hearts and sadness that you are not here for us to hug you on your birthday. Our hearts are sad and the light shines on as we gather to celebrate your Birthday. We all miss you buddy!!!!

Happy Birthday in Heaven Jeremy. I am so glad you can share your birthday with your sister Laurie who has joined you. You would be 42 today and I can only imagine what your life would be like now, married and a family and making me a grandma again. We love and miss you so much but you are in a beautiful place and can't wait until I see you and Laurie again. RIP my son!

Jeremy, another year is about to pass us by and you are still missed with pain in our hearts knowing that your "light" is bright in our hearts each year that passes us by with these memories of you and others that have left us. I look at your picture every day and smile....you make my day!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas in heaven and to tell you how much you are loved and missed. I have a special ornament with your name that goes on the Christmas tree every year and now I need to make one for Laurie. It fills my heart with joy knowing that you are spending Christmas with your sister and grandparents and the rest of our family in the most beautiful place you could be.
Love,
Mom & Dad

It has been 12 years since you left us but seems like only yesterday. I think of how your life would be now, maybe married with a family. I like to think about you when you were so young and how you would kiss the tv when a commercial came on for Snuggle Fabric Softener. I've bought snuggle ever since cause it reminds me of that little boy I loved so dearly. I hope you and Laurie are hand in hand waiting for the rest of us. We love you so much and a day doesn't go by that I don't think of you and will see you soon. Love MOM

My sweet nephew, am thinking of you today and WISHING you were sitting next to me so I could hug you. I hope Laurie is sitting next to you so you two can keep each other company. I miss you more each day and I know that you are at rest waiting for the rest of us to join you. You are soooo missed, it's hard to face each day without you. Be at peace Jerm until we join you with open arms.

Sorry Jerm, I'm a day late but we celebrated your birthday last night at Jimmy's. It was your nephew Evan who said it's tradition for us to be there and I'm so glad we did. I saw your friend Kim at Laurie's funeral, she has a boyfriend now who has a birthday same day as you so she wasn't at Jimmy's but celebrating with him. We now you are happy in heaven and I hoped you welcomed your sister with open arms. She will be buried right with you in May so I will have you both together. We luv & miss you so much Jerm!!!

Hi Jerm,
Just want to say Happy Birthday buddy. As you know, Laurie passed way and is going to be laid to rest with you so you can keep an eye on her.  Miss you and love you both.

Time passes us by so quick that we are here again 11 years later. Life has never been the same since you left us but we go through the motions anyway to live on. I smile as I remember your life and how much joy you brought to my life when you were born. I can't wait to see you, hug you as I pass through the pearly gates of heaven. I am ready.

Hi Jeremy, it's me again and I'm still waiting to join you. I cannot believe it's been ten years and yet, I can. We are all doing well and missing you like crazy. Our country is in turmoil for several reasons and we have to live one day at a time in quarantine until it is no longer necessary to hide in the closet. I'll fill you in when I see. You are very much loved and missed by everyone. Save a cloud for me buddy!

My dear nephew JEREMY, here we are once again to memorialize you in our memories on your 39th Birthday. Each year we all tell you how much we miss you and it becomes harder with every passing day. Just know that as I have one more BIRTHDAY I become closer to being next to you in heaven and then I can give you a hug on your birthday instead of writing MESSAGES. Rest in peace and know that you are loved and missed every day.

You are missed every moment of every day and today is especially hard as you left us nine years ago on this date like a whisper in a thunder storm. All we have now are your pictures and memories of the beautiful man you had become. "Gone too soon" is an understatement of how badly you are missed, not just today but every day of our lives. My precious nephew, we will celebrate your life once again tonight at Jimmy's and chuckle at the funny things you did as a kid and how badly your brother and sisters picked on you. Rest in peace Jerm and we will all be together again one day.

Your Spirit
I know that no matter what,
You will always be with me!
When life separated us
I knew it was only your soul
Saying goodbye to your body,
But your spirit, I know
Will always be with me.
When I hear birds chirping
On nearby branches
I feel it's a sign of you singing to me.
When a butterfly near me seems carefree,
I feel it's you assuring me that you're free from pain.
When a flowers fragrance hits my nostrils,
I feel it's you reminding me
To appreciate the simple things in life.
When the sun shines through my window and awakens me
on a cold winter day,
I feel the warmth of your love.
When I see mountains
I think of your courage,
The courage you had to relocate,
in hope for a better future.
I know that no matter where I am
Or what I think about
your spirit will remain beside me,
For it lives within my heart.
From one spirit to another,
My beloved brother,
you will always be with me!
Love ya Jermbutt!

Happy 38th Birthday Jeremy! Seems like only yesterday you were playing ball in the backyard and we were going to the drive in movies. What I wouldn't give to have those days back again! Like I told you before it never gets any easier, I just go through the motions. We have been getting together every year with the family at Jimmy's (one of your favorite places) to celebrate your birthday and today is no different. We share stories and laugh and cry. We know you are there with us. We love you dearly! Mom, Dad, & Family

I hope you are resting in peace my son. You are 35 years old now and I wonder how life would have been for you if you were still here with us. Maybe married and a baby of yours we could cherish and love as much as we love you. Never a day goes by that you aren't on my mind. I can't wait til I see your smiling face again. No words can express how much you are loved. Mom

Well JJ, here we are again paying tribute to your memory and feeling that tremendous void in our lives. Visited your grave today with your mom and we picked some weeds and grass away from all the various memorials your friends and family have left over the years. Wish you were here to cuddle and squeeze tight to let you know how treasured you are to me. I know we will see each other again when my time comes, so until then, mind your grandma and grandpa up there and turn the volume down on that rock and roll stuff. I love you boy!

I miss you...never a day goes by I don't think of you....wonder.... hope I'll see you again.. pain is so hard to endure hope you understand.....I love you...  I pray when I pass you will be the first I see....

Even with the clear blue skies each day and sparkling stars at night, the tears, like the rains still fall as I remember you on this day each year. Your void is very apparent in our lives and you can't be forgotten because of the smile you left in our hearts. You are missed beyond words but I know you are at peace and surrounded by all we've lost.

Another year has passed, dealing with the trials and tribulations of life. It never gets any easier, you just go through the motions. Missing your voice, smile and laughter gets unbearable at times. Today is just a cruel reminder of what I don't have anymore. I am thankful you are resting in peace. Until we see one another again, remember how much you are loved and missed.

the tears won't stop coming..I don't know how I have made it this far..looking at pictures of your smiling face is all that keeps me going..remembering all the good & bad times but especially remembering when you were little and we did almost everything together..there are no words to express how deep my love is for you.

My Dear Nephew, it has been 2 yrs since you left us and God knows how badly the grief has been & how desperately you are missed and loved. It is the void of not having your face & energy here to wipe away the tears and remove the silence from our every day lives. We celebrate your life Jeremy & will try not to mourn too long. My heart still hurts. Rest now my nephew.

You had a way of going straight to my heart. Jeremy we will never forget you. As God’s Angel, tasked with watching and reassuring us that you are okay and there is nothing to fear, the question we can ask ourselves now is, did you know how desperately you are loved? Did you say "I want to see if there is light at the end of this tunnel" before beginning that journey my sweet Jeremy?
