We are so sorry for your loss. There is no way we can know or understand the heartache y'all are enduring. Hope a few thoughts back to better moments we shared with y'all will bring a moment of joy during this tragic time. I remember when you told me you were FINALLY going to have another baby! How excited you were that Chad would have a sibling. Morgan was telling me how Jeremy was the first baby she remembers ever being around and "holding". She was almost 8 and him about 6 weeks. It seems ironic that Becky and I share a memory from Michael seeing Jordan and saying , " He has no teeth!" as that was the first baby he had really been around. Allison recalled always thinking how pretty/handsome your boys were no matter the stage or the age they were.
Ron and I were talking about how young Jeremy's imagination and creativity started shining through. As a preschooler, almost the second we would step in the door, he would grab the girls' hands and say come help me put on my play for everyone. They would get their assignments, we would be seated and the show would begin. He had it all planned out awaiting our arrival. And they were not the shows of a 5 year old. Next visit the plots would be even more advanced, costumes appropriate with frequent changes, and lengthy. We would all say we weren't sure doing what specifically (because he excelled at all facets from vision to the writing to directing to acting), but we felt we would see him involved in putting on shows or making films of some sort. He even had intermissions and/or commercials! Seems I even remember a quite comical infomercial.
Before too much longer it would be just Ron and I coming to town. He would give us gals a bit to catch up and "jump on" Ron to explain and teach video games and perhaps even have Ron give it a try. It had been years and the games were so different and more real than those Ron had played with his boys. We always loved that no matter how long it had been since we had been together, Jeremy was as comfortable with us like it had been just a few days since we had last seen each other. Of course, as he grew the games changed and we even played various Nerf games from basketball, baseball to darts. I have vivid memories of a pretty, spring day we ran around the front yards shooting and finally throwing darts because it took too long to reload! We laughed so hard that day. He kept growing so it got to where we usually just got to see how much taller and more handsome he was getting before he took off upstsirs to get online with friends or leave with someone. We can't fathom never seeing what was coming next and know how much more exponentially that thought breaks your hearts all over again. We join y'all in promising to never let those memories go. Jeremy will live on in our hearts♥️👼
We love y'all and pray for God to see you through.......
Carole, Ron, Allison & Morgan Sherman
