My Comment, Part 3: Little did I know how that story would connect me, in just a small way, to Jeremy. My heart goes out to his family, to Brendan and all of Jeremy's friends, and to all of those who love him and who were touched by his shining light-- even if it was in just a small way.

Beautiful

Great Job Colleen!!!

My Comment, Part 1: I only had the chance to meet Jeremy once at Brendan's house where he and his friends gathered before the Candy Cane Dance. I did, however, have another interesting connection with Jeremy. In June of 2012, Brendan, Julie, their dad, and I went to a James Taylor concert at the PNC Arts Center. Before going into the concert, we were tailgating by the cars. I didn't realize it that night, but the next day when I was getting into my car (a black Altima -- a dirty one I admit),

My Comment, Part 2: I noticed there was something written on the car -- J-Dunk -- I laughed and thought "that had to be Brendan." Later that day, I was driving on 23 South in the Singac/Little Falls area and a car with a bunch of young guys were driving next to me laughing, pointing, and staring at my car. At first I didn't know what was going on and then I realized they must have known J-Dunk. I laughed. I left it on until the rain washed it away.
