Hi everyone, my name is Jamie and I am Jeremy's mom. I want to thank each
and everyone of you on a daily basis for helping my husband David, myself,
Jeremy's sister Lisbeth and family as well as Kira and Skylar get through
something that no family should ever have to endure.
Everyday is a little better then the day before. Not only was Jeremy my son
for 30 years, but I also considered him my baby and business partner as
well. We spent many years in business together. The one thing JEREMY always
said is that I was one of the strongest people he had ever known. So every
morning I get up and say o.k. Jeremy, I will be what you always told me I
was. STRONG - in business deals we spoke and many times we disagreed with
each other. I listened to him, he listened to me, and he always seem to make
more sense then me. He was great at debating idea's with me. Of course, I
should have known at the beginning of every situation, I never had a chance
to win. Believe it or not, he always seem to be right. JEREMY was like a
computer, with a photographic mind. I could ask him at any time how much a
customer paid for something 3 years ago and without going into our files he
could quote the price. He had a passion for his personal training. He
believed that people should eat healthy, work out often and watch themselves
on a daily basis. However, this week when we cleaned out his car, I found a
couple of candy bar wrappers. I would like to think they belonged to someone
else, so let's just say they did. There wasn't a day that went by that our
front door didn't open and Jeremy would pop in by himself, take the
newspaper, read the sports section, leave it on the couch then be prepared
to say hello and talk. Many times he would walk in with something flopping
in his right hand, only to look down and see Skylar his daughter bouncing
around in the car seat. Skylar, well what can my husband David and I say
about this situation. We watched Jeremy go from Kir'as pregnancy, to being a
father to being a fiancé, which you could of as well called a husband. Both
Kira and Jeremy accepted each other for who they were. There love for each
other was one of strength with Skylar making it a threesome that no one
could break thru. I would see the way he would look at Kira and the way he
would look at Skylar. A look I never quite saw before in his eyes. A look of
contentment, a look of excitement and a look of true love. For all of this
both David and I will always be grateful for. Most people spend all of their
life looking for that special person or people and never find them. In
JEREMY'S short time here, he achieved and found something special, LOVE.
Jeremy had a special relationship with his sister Lisbeth who lives in
Virginia. He always shared the good and bad times with her first, we were
always second to know. He loved and respected his brothinlaw Mark and had a
special place for his aunt Laurie who only saw Jeremy thru rose colored
glasses. He loved to play with his nephew Matthew who now realizes he has
gone someplace special. As for his father David, well that was another
story. They were as close as a son and father could be. They spoke on a
daily basis, discussed sports, books, went to ball games together and
movies. There wasn't anything David wouldn't have done for Jeremy all he
ever had to do was ask.
Well everyone, to say that we won't miss JEREMY walking thru our door on a
daily basis would be a lie, to say we won't miss his cute smile, big blue
eyes, sense of humor and kindness would be a lie. In fact we will miss
everything about him. However, it is better to have loved and lost then
never to have loved at all and JEREMY was so loved.
We are so very grateful to all of you for keeping his memory alive, that is
all we have, please keep it going for him, for all of us. With appreciation,
caring and xxxxx Jamie and David Wainland
