Was very sad to learn you passed away, especially at your young age. Life is hard at times, but some, like you, faced prolonged challenges many levels of magnitude greater. To me you were an intelligent, sensitive and likeable individual with great potential for good and eventual contentment. God Bless you Jeremiah.

Jeremiah, you deserved so much better than what you were given in life. Your kindness to others and animals speaks volumes on the sort of person you were. Every person has their breaking point. You made our world safer. Wish you were still here. See you on the other side.
