my last picture with the love of my life dec. 29thI don't have a lot to say right now. I laid in bed with Jed last night for hours. I was so tired I fell asleep. All of a sudden I woke up and asked Danny for a blanket. While he was putting it over me I was talking to Jed, telling him to please go, I will be fine and he does not have to fight anymore. Jed took maybe 3 breaths and then stopped. It was so quick but he waited for me to wake up before he left me. The outpouring of love is overwhelming and so appreciated. The depth of our devastation in immeasurable. I don't understand how he can be gone from me. We were always together, ALWAYS. I asked his advice about everything and he helped keep me organized and together. I really don't know how I am expected to just keep going without him. THe fact that I was laughing with him and looking at his sweet face only days ago is so hard to comprehend.
The service will be Saturday, more info as we get it all set up. hope to see you there.
Love to you all and thanks also.
Love Jed and Kristin

He was the better part of us. We would be wasting his gifts if we do not take the lessons and go forward as better human beings to pass them along to others. I pray everyday for a son as wonderful and sweet as Jed. I love you.
Kristin,
You must always sign it with both of you because it will always be both of you. He will continue to help you and keep you organized. Continue to ask him for help, he will help you. I cannot begin to imagine the devastation you all must be enduring. Just know that you all are loved greatly and you can and will get through this.
Much love to you all,
Maggie
Each and every one of us is a better person for having known and loved him. I can only hope that my daughters can even a fraction of a difference that Jed made in other's lives.
Keeping signing off as J & K as he has been and always will be part of you. Debbie
What an inspiration Jed has been to every person that was blessed to know him. He will continue to live on in our hearts. I look up to you, Kristin and Savannah, for your incredibly hope, strength, and love. Even in your most difficult time, you share with us special pictures and words that help us to grieve the loss of such an unbelievable person. While there are no words to say to ease the severe pain or make it easier to imagine life without such an amazing friend, son, and brother, I strongly believe that one day we will all meet again. Until then, I know that Jed is being taken care of and is watching over us all. Love, Kate, Gamma Phi Beta

Kristen,
The pictures are beautiful and the daily updates were appreciated. I did not get to meet Jed during his last days due to a cold, I meet him through his blog and through FB. I can't even imagine the pain and emptiness that you feel with out your beloved Jed. My thoughts are with you and your family during this time of sorrow.

I don't think I could have said it any better then Kate. Jed is in our thoughts and hearts everyday and we will all miss him every minute. We are so lucky to have been a part of his life and will never forget his incredible strength and inspiration he passed on to all of us.
Love, Gamma Phi
Kristen you and Jed and Danny are in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I did not know your family but heard of Jed through facebook. I enjoyed reading about him. What a wonderful young man!! May peace be with you all.
Kristin,
Sooo saddened and sorry for your loss. I don't even know what else to say. His amazing smile will be the thing I remember the most. Again, so sorry.

I am so sorry for you loss. I've never met you, but as part of the THON family, I want you to know that all of my love goes to you at this time. He was an amazing kid, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Keep strong and we're here for you.
Kristin, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this blog with us. It has been such an amazing format for sharing Jed with all of us. Even when we could not be there, for the smiles and the struggles, you let us into Jeds world and for that I feel unbelievably lucky. I'm sure it has been a way to vent, but at times I imagine you also did not want to express what Jed and your family were experiencing. Thank you though. Jed, you, Savannah and Danny have touched us all. Jed lives on forever, in our hearts, our memories, and your touching words.
Love,
Christie
