I just found out about your son, Jeremy, and it is like an old wound has been opened up. He looks so much like you. He is your spitting image. He has your smile and seeing pictures of him with his "uncle" Mitch just makes me cry because I miss you. You didn't have a selfish bone in your body and you were always ready to help others. That is what made you so awesome. Growing up with you was one of my best memories!
