Tragic loss for fellow cigar brother ...

[tedski]

Just read this on Stogie Review. I can't comprehend how I'd feel to lose a child. I hope they can get through this with all our good thoughts and prayers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Just this morning I received an email from Jerry containing tragic news.
Yesterday while Jerry and Michelle were at work their son Jeremiah Jr. (JJ) passed away while in the care of their day care center.

At 1:12pm on Friday, November 2nd my little robusto passed away at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital on Gaithersburg Md.

His death is being investigated since he was in the care of our daycare while we were at work.

Please pass this along to the SR Community as Michelle and I can use all the thoughts and prayers we can get while we grieve the loss of our 3 month old little robusto.

Please keep Jerry and Michelle in your thoughts and prayers while they struggle through this hard time.

Posted by Jerry, this is what he wrote & read during JJ's funeral.

JJ was a special boy. From the beginning of his life, JJ seemed to always be ahead, holding his head up his first week, finding his hands to play with, giving smiles and belly laughs. When he was first born, he seemed to be a serious boy, always with a look on his face as if he was trying to figure everything out. But as time went on, he showed his playful side, smiling when you told him you loved him or what a good and beautiful boy he was.

JJ is our greatest blessing, giving us more than we had ever dreamed. As his parents we would constantly marvel at how amazing he was, and how special he could make you feel. We knew we were so lucky to have JJ.

Every day with JJ brought gifts of joy, whether it was in the way he would crinkle his nose and smile, hold your hand tightly, or sweetly lay on you to sleep. We never imagined that our hearts could overflow with such happiness and pride, and that life could be filled with a warmth that reached the depths of your soul.

JJ knew nothing but love – from his parents, family, and all those who he encountered. We are thankful that so many people were able to share in knowing and loving him. There were always loving arms ready to hold him and shower him with affection. And JJ gave love as freely as he received it. He came early so that he would have more time to spend with all of us.

Without his love, we wouldn’t be able to bear the burden of losing him. But we know he walks with God, and that he will always be with us, as we will always be with him. This is a time of sorrow, but memories of JJ will always make our hearts smile.

We love and miss you, sweet boy.
