In Loving Memory of
Josh Wolbers and
Jeremy Nelson

I thought of you today, but
that is nothing new,
I thought of you yesterday
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I
often speak your name.
All I have are memories and
your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my
keepsake,
With which I’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping
And I have you in my heart.
Love forever,
Auntie Mary

It's been two years...

It's hard to beleive it's been that long since we lost Jeremy. We all still miss him and think of him all the time. Our thoughts go out to Leroy, Rose, Donna, and the kids. Jeremy we miss you.

I received this email from Rose(Jer's mom)earlier today:

It's been two years since you left us but it feels like yesterday. We miss your smile, your laughter, your wisdom and your kindness, all of which you had an abundance of. Most of all you being you. A much loved son,husband, father, uncle, brother and friend. We will always honor and cherish your memory til we meet again,son.

mom and dad


The last week of Jeremy's life, Lisa (his sister) and I began to notice his eyes. They were the kindest eyes that we had ever seen.The Lord truly dwelt in his heart and that was reflected in his eyes. We cherish all of our memories but that always stays close to our heart.
Judah and Kaylyn are such a blessing to us. Jeremy would be so proud.
We will miss the kids and Donna as they will be starting a new life in High Level Alberta. We only want the best for them and every happiness.
A special thank you to all Jeremys friends and family that stood with him to the end. Bless you all.

Pictures from Donna

Donna sent these to me in early August. Sorry it took so long to post them:

From Mary

Hi Kendal

Thanks for the e-mail. that is very kind of you.Yes, this year has gone by
fast. I have Josh and Jeremy's pictures side by side, and look at them and
wonder why. But there is only one person who knows that. I still do security
work and Jeremy is always with me. I have sent a picture of the kids, i
don't know if Donna has sent any, so I thought you'd like to see them.
Leroy,Rose and daughter Lisa with Donna and the kids have gone to Stanley
Park in Vancouver for the day. So they will have their time for themselves.
The sun has been shining with light showers, but all in all they are
to-gether.
Thanks again Kendal
All the best to the family
Mary

From Tracy

I wanted to put a post up on the net but I just didn't know what to say....
I can't believe it has been a year... I know what you mean about people
saying or doing something that reminds you of Jeremy. And then I also think
that he hasn't been in my life for awhile, and I go onto his blog and read
things and look at pictures and everything comes flooding back and I
remember all the great times we had over the years and it just starts to
hurt all over... I can't even think about what it is like for Jeremy's
family. I am glad that you sent out this post and added the pictures....
They make me laugh and make me cry and It is so good to remember!!! Jeremy
was one of the best friends I have ever had in my life and I can never
replace him, but I can keep his memory in me and all the great things he
represented.... I truly believe having him in my life made me a better
person.

Thanks Kendal..

One Year...

Today it has been one year since Jeremy been gone. I still miss Jeremy a lot and think of him daily. Some days are harder than others. Robyn and I found out we were pregnant about a month after we came back from his funeral. That day was probably the best day of my life, and my first reaction was to want to call Jeremy and tell him. We were in Williams Lake right after Judah was born, and got to see him, and hold him, and see Jeremy proudly holding him. It was such a blessing. Knowing Jeremy would not get to share that with us was hard.

Before Jeremy died we told him we were trying to have a baby, and that if it was a boy we were going to name him Jeremy. When our Jeremy Liam was born on Jan 10, we deeply missed Jeremy and wished he could have been there. Recently on March 31, when the two year anniversary of Josh' death came and went that was also a hard time.

Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc... are all times where you miss people you've lost. Sometimes a song will come on the radio or someone will make a comment that reminds me of Jeremy and I will find myself getting teary- eyed. Recently I was showing off some pictures(in my cell phone) of our baby to people at work. We came across this picture of Luke Skywalker. They wanted to know why I had Luke Skywalker in my car and I had to tell them the story.

Jeremy used to have this hanging from the rear view mirror in his Blazer. Whenever you went anywhere with him he'd suddenly say, "Loook!" and point in the general direction of Luke. You would say, "What am I looking at?" and Jeremy would look at you like you were a little slow and reply, "Luke, you know Luke Skywalker..." So one day we were driving down the highway and I pointed out into the field and said, "HEY!" Jeremy looked out and said, "What?" To which I pointed to the hay bales in the field and said, "Hay, you know hay bales..." Later Robyn took Luke hostage and never got around to returning him.

Just telling the story at work brought back so many memories, that I had to fight back tears.

If it is this hard for Robyn and I, I can only imagine what Donna, Rose and Leroy are going through.

Donna, Rose, and Leroy, we just want you guys to know that we haven't forgotten and we are thinking of you and praying for you.

Jeremy we miss you a lot.

Help Ron fight Cancer for Jeremy

Good day,

Today you are given a chance to fight cancer on the behalf of those suffering with and/or died from it. Cancer attacks, most often, without warning leaving people suffer with little hope of regaining a normal life and often taking the life of loved ones. Cancer doesn't prey on just a few, and we can all see it's effects. Our family and friends have suffered because of cancer in it's many forms.

Let’s take a stand and fight cancer by supporting the Canadian Cancer Society. I'm riding from Prince George, with 23 other RCMP members, to Prince Rupert to raise funds for through the Cops For Cancer and ask that you support this cause to help fund cancer research and supply support to those suffering from cancer.

All the funds raised go directly to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Thank you

Robyn's memories.....

I have so many memories of Jeremy. It is hard for me to know where to start. I met Jeremy at a very fragile point in my life. I had just left an abusive relationship, and I was very pregnant with my daughter Breanne. I had just started to go to New Life Church (Where Jeremy was) and I really didn't have many friends.
I met Jeremy at a baptism the church had out at Blue Lake. Jeremy offered to drive me home. All I remember was trying to squeeze my VERY pregnant body into Jeremy's little Camero, and staring at the hole in the floor thinking I was going to fall out the bottom! and that was the beginning of a very long friendship....
Despite my circumstances at the time, he never looked at me as THAT single mother, or treated me any different then he would have treated anyone else...he simply accepted me, at a time when many other people didn't. More then that he wanted to be my friend.
The next few years with Jeremy were anything but boring....Water fights in the middle of the night running through fields, paintball, hiking....man could I tell you some stories about that.....bad jokes, and nothing like watching the video of Jeremy eating cereal....ugh.....


Trips in the blazer....

Tender talking time....raiding the Jones kitchen.....Star Wars, campfires....trips to Likely. (That's a Likely story-he would say)....playing guitar....or rather...I would play, and he would bug me...how do you do that chord?
Juicing! Remember that guys? He made me really sick one night when we were all juicing at the church...he made some green concoction he swore would make me "grow hair". Man was I sick. (LOL)... oh...and CLEAR! "Jeremy can't you do that somewhere else?"
Kendal. I started hanging out with Kendal because of Jer. They were best friends.... we have been married ten years now! He was the best man at our wedding....


Donna's favorite song Mr. Frump (insert sarcasm here)

Todd's wedding (and a first dance for Jer and Donna)
Jeremy's wedding and Donna...a new stage in his life.




Jeremy as daddy....Man I looked foreward to seeing that.
Scott's wedding.

Prayer.
I have spent sooo many hours in prayer with Jeremy, praying for our friends, the church, revival. For change in our lives. More then anything else, Jer wanted to be right with God, and to do his will. In that he was an example for me and many others. Nothing came before God in Jeremy's life.
Because Jeremy accepted everyone and wanted them to know Jesus, he was always bringing someone new around, and I am still friends with some of these people today...Sandi, Tracy.
He inspired people to be better then they thought they could be.
Jeremy was an uncle to my kids who loved him to death. Uncle Jeremy could always be counted on to make them laugh with another corny joke, and he was a lot of fun. He was at most of their birthdays...
There are so many other things I could add....but I won't.
There are some people who touch your life in a way that doesn't leave you, and Jeremy was one of those people for me. I really miss him alot, but I am glad that we will also see him again some day...
We miss you Jer....
Robyn, Kendal, girls (and baby Jones)

Kaylyn Sarah Faye Nelson Pics

Kaylyn & big Brother Judah!

Why are you pointing that thing at me?

It's a Girl!

Donna had a baby girl on Sunday July 23 at 1:21AM. Her name is Kaylyn Sarah Faye Nelson weighing in at 6 lbs 14 oz. and 20 1/4 inches long. She has reddish brown hair and may have blue eyes. She has the same round face that Donna does. She looks more like Donna but has a similarity of her brother Judah. Judah is not to sure about this tiny little bundle. He will kiss her but when she cries he gets very worried and upset.

Donna is doing very well. She has had her moments of missing Jeremy but otherwise her spirits are very up. Donna started labor about 11 PM but did not recognize it as labor, just a very steady back ache. She finally told her best friend to take her to the hospital at about 12:30 as something was very wrong. When she got there they told her that she was 6cm dilated. Donna was shocked. We were camped at Fort Langely campground so she call us at 12:50 that we needed to come right away. We arrived at the Hospital only to find out that we were 2 min. to late. We had been praying that she would have an easy birth and quick and GOD honored that.

Thankyou all for your prayers.

The meaning of Her name is Crowned Princess(Kaylyn) Beloved(Sarah) Remembered(Faye) the 23 is also significant as Jeremy's birthdate was the 23(Dec)
