Repost: We lost a dear friend, Jeremy Norman

How devasting this is to lose someone so young, which began with something so "benign" as a cold.  I didn't get the opportunity to get to know him this last year on OH but after reading some of his profile and viewing him on you tube, he seems like such a nice young man!  I know that God has a plan and He needed him elsewhere and find comfort in that but it's so hard when they leave us so young!  I'll keep their family in my prayers as I'm sure this Christmas will be very hard indeed!

Thanks for posting this Amy, you are still on top of things as usual.  I feel so sad for what this man had to go through, and  even sadder for his wife. He will always be remembered. Happy Holidays, Catherine

I feel like i just got hit in the chest. Just last night i was looking and His and Robbi's websites.I spent about 2 hrs looking at thier stories. I am so very sad. I just went to thier sites to show John Robbi's drawings and then went to the church site and saw the note that he died. I am so upset. Those kids have been through so much and loved each other so much. The tears will not stop. God Bless You Robbi,and Jeremy,you fought the good fight and now you are an angel:) Love Val

Thank you Amy for keeping us informed, this is truly shocking news, R.I.P Jeremy. My condolences to your Family. -Maryama

How sad.  I wish he could have emerged as a poster child for WLS despite the complications.  ~BB~

Robbi and Jeremy were special people with a special love.  What a terrible loss especially this time of year.
