Journal entry by Rita Mueller —
Jer would have been 39 yrs. old today. Guess some salty tears have to escape. Need to wipe them away and go on to the positive. Jeremy would want that. I am so impressed at the size of that kids heart. Since he was a baby he flirted and smiled at everyone. As he grew he didn't change that much. He had a heart as big as the world. And a smile that could speak any language.
Today I honor you Jerimiah James.
I have been wondering also if there are any of you friends /family that need one of the bibles that were handed out at Jer's funeral? Pastor Mary has told me she will keep ordering cases as long as people want one. If anyone wants one just private message me your address and I will send one .
Jeremy and Pastor Mary had some pretty good conversations I've heard. Thank God Mary could handle his blunt approach! haha I think they rather enjoyed each other. When Jer was up on a ladder before his accident, washing the side of the church..hanging one foot off the ladder and one foot barely on and reaching and washing ..as Mary held the ladder and prayed he didn't fall!!! Jer yelled to her and asked her if she thought he was closer to God up there on that ladder of the church? LOL Only Jer! Mary told him yes he definitely was! A few yrs. later...after his accident and after he came here to recover , Mary gave him a ride to and from a doctor appointment. I do not know what was spoken or unspoken...But, I could sense the Holy Spirit had been with Jeremy that day.
Jer lived a life full of action. And lived it to the fullest! Heart full of love and a smile that could bring peace to anyone.
Happy Birthday in heaven Jeremy. Luv ya forever
