Jeremy and Kassidy, this is Kate Jasper. I really hope that you can see how much you are and are going to be missed for all future years.
Jeremy, you were the one person who always lit up the class when we were down or in trouble. 8th grade will not be the same without you. you were so looking foward to graduating with the class. You had so much pride and you never let any of your classmates down; or anyone for that matter. I miss you so terribly much. I will never forget you, "King Boy."
Kassidy, whenever you saw me your eyes lit up and you ran to give one of the biggest hugs I have ever had in my life. I will really miss that. You always had a charming sense that I will never understand, maybe that's why you were so lovable. Look down on us from heaven.
I love you guys and always will!

To Mr. Smith, Robby, and Shane. All of my prayers are with you at this time of need. I am truly sorry for your loss. They will never be forgotten.
Peace Be With You All

I do not know the family, but I do read the obits everyday. This was a very difficult obituary to read. As a mother myself, it is hard to hear of a child or children passing, but atleast take comfort in knowing that they are in a wonderful place, that we someday will visit ourselves and you will all reunite as a family once again.
I am so very sorry for all of the family and friends that this tragedy has affected. May you feel comfort in knowing they are all with GOD, and looking over you as your new ANGELS.
I will keep you in my prayers.

It saddens me to have to extend two condolences in one day and having the second one being so unnecessary, their little lives were just beginning.

Extending my most sincere and heartfelt condolences and these losses.

It looks to me as if this were a family that has left this Earth together, to be God's newest Angels. I do not know your family. However, reading this obituary has saddened me so much. To the rest of the family, may God Bless You.
Stay strong for one another, until you all meet again.
