"To the family of Jeremy; I want to express my deepest sympathies on the sudden loss of Jeremy. He was a colleague at State Farm (my first cube mate). He was always very supportive and motivating as a co-worker.- and many (myself included) looked to him for his knowledge and insight. Jeremy and I shared the same love for the St. Louis Cardinals - maybe his a little deeper than mine. He was funny, generous and truly a kind person. Know he will be missed but always cherished. It was truly and honor and privilege to work with Jeremy. May all that you hold dear of Jeremy speed your heart's healing."
