Terri Cosby wrote a sympathy message

“Jeremy lived next door to my sister and myself in Vicksburg. We got to know him well. He was always happy and smiling with a light in his eyes. He would come visit my sister who is not well and spend a lot of times making her laugh. I just want his family to know that we will miss him and remember him fondly for the rest of our lives. I can see him running up and knocking on my window and my sister Sherill's window and yelling Terri, Sherill wake up. Yes he will be missed. May he rest in peace.”
