  10. Crystal,
    I am very sorry and sad about Jeremy. I got to know Jeremy when Morgan was in my Head Start classroom. Jeremy was a very dedicated father and husband. His children seemed to always bring a smile to his face. He was proud of his family and worked hard to provide for them. I know that my words cannot ease your pain and saddness. The Bible says that God is our strength and comfort in times of trouble. The Lord can help and will help you, if you ask Him to. I feel that my life has been blessed because I knew Jeremy.
