"Dear Chris and Jessica and family, I am so sorry to hear about Jeremy. My deepest sympathies go out to you. I have so many good memories of riding the bus and going to school with him. I wish more than anything that I could be there with you during this time, but unfortunately my schedule and my distance from home won't allow it. Please remember, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, he rescues those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18. Know that you are in my prayers."
