Happy Birthday little brother. It's lonely here without you. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to help. I love you.

Dear Jed,
Sorry I made a mess out of being in touch. I am so sorry to hear that you have left us and hope that today finds you truly in 'a better place.' Please know that you are loved and missed by so many.
I will never forget walking into the house one day while you were playing "Maybe I'm Amazed" - guitar solo included. I was so amazed [and jealous] I had to go figure it out myself.
I will always remember your beautiful smile with that little twist of "I'm up to something" mixed in. Miss you little bro. Rest in peace.

Amy and I became friends in 4th grade, and were inseparable. I spent thousands of hours at 60 Bayview. I will never forget the sweet boy who played quietly in his room, was never a pest, and loved being with us. I will always have those images in my heart and mind. Jed I send heartfelt condolences to your family, and hope that you have found peace.

Jed, your headstone is finally there in the cemetery just where you had planned it. I never thought I would live to see it there beside Mom's. Peter and I planted some ferns and yellow daisies there last weekend. Maggie and Matt chose the epitaph, and it is certainly true. We miss you so very much. I'll come visit soon.

I hadn't seen Jed since I was in high school, but I knew him as a funny, sweet, slightly wild kid who his brother and sister adored. We hung out at the Bayview Avenue house a lot. Jed was usually there, always cool and always funny. Gone too soon.

This is a lovely way to remember Jed. I can close my eyes and clearly see the moment I met him. It was at a high school party and I was the new girl in town. It was awkward not knowing anyone and from that moment, I didn't feel alone anymore. He was a significant part of my life at that time and I believe, helped shape my path. I would sit for hours in the living room on Bayview while he composed and practiced piano. DD liked me as his girlfriend because he played so often in my company. He was so incrediby talented. When I came across the old cassette tapes, I had them digitized. I somehow knew they would be meaningful to others. I contacted him to give him a copy. We met at a restaurant and sat in the parking lot for hours listening to the tracks, reliving old times and talking about the inspirations for his songs. It was like time stood still; we were 18 years old again. I am so grateful we reconnected after all those years. Now when I close my eyes, I can still see our youthful, shiny, hopeful selves. Thank you Jed for having such a strong impact on me. I am richer for having had you in my life. Forever missed.

The masons are putting in your headstone at the cemetery today, Jed--right next to Mommy where you wanted to be (but not nearly so soon). It's still so hard to accept you are gone. I love you so.

God bless you, little brother; I miss you so much. Not a day has passed since you left us that I have not grieved for you and felt the emptiness left by the loss of your warmth, love, good humour and good will. I have a lifetime of love left over for you and wish I could share it with you every day.

I miss Jed a lot. I've been listening to some of his tunes, and I've uploaded them on this site for everyone to hear. He was a multitalented guy, and anyone who knew him would agree with me that he was always fun to be around. He left us too soon, and I will never forget the times we spent together.

Jed, I think of you every day since you have left us. It isn't easy to accept that you are gone, but please know you live on in our hearts. You were the sweetest little boy in the world, and it was an honor to be your sister. I will always remember your loving spirit--your kind heart. Say "hi" to Mommy for me.
