Meet Alan

I would like you all to say hello to Alan. I met alan this past Saturday at a very upscale restaurant while having lunch with my friends for one of thier birthdays. Alan took our drink order then our lunch order, as I looked at his name badge it read the town which I had moved from in N.Y. 17 years ago. We didn't know anyone in common, however, I did mention that my son use to be a waiter at 32 East in Delrey Beach and since we were in the same town he knew of the restaurant. He asked me my sons name and I said his first name and that he had passed away. He said JEREMY WAINLAND, when I said yes how do you know him, Alan said that they had worked together as waiters at Aoura in Delrey and everyone liked Jeremy, had felt terrible when they got the news, and all of the waitors came to the funeral. I would have never known being that there were over 250 people there that all of the people he had worked with before going full time with his training and working with PERU had been there to say goodbye to him or shall I say so long for now. The birthday was wonderful but meeting Alan really touched me and made my day. In one more month we shall have JEREMY'S unvieling. It will be a bittersweet day, we shall pay tribute to him at the cemetary then come back to our house where the rabbi will give his daughter a name in Jewish. This was KIRA'S wish for her and JEREMY. I will be forever grateful that Kira has done this. She has also chosen his best friend David Serle and his wife Samantha to be the guardian of SKYLAR. I told Kira she will always be around and never to worry, however, life is strange and this is what JEREMY would have wanted. So Kira, I will always love you for thinking of what JEREMY would have wanted, who knew him better or loved him better then you besides his family. xxxxx to everyone, Jamie
