Jeremiah Byard
December 31st 1986---May 17th 2009.
The Byard family, Christmas 2002.
Eleven days ago, our friend Jeremiah was killed in an auto accident.
For years our families have been close, and their boys like cousins to us. We've spent so many Holidays together throughout the years-- Christmas and Ressurection Day especially. Those precious times memories now; memories we'll treasure.
Jeremiah was young, and many would call this an 'untimely death'. Jeremiah was given only 22 years on this earth. We trust the Lord, and thank Him for each of those years. We mourn the passing of our friend, yet we know it is no mistake. Even in our sorrow, our confidence is in the Lord-- for he knows the days alloted to each of His children-- He holds them in His hands! We will miss Jeremiah deeply, yet we rejoice in the work of our Heavenly Father; who moves in ways we do not always understand.
Please join us in upholding our dear friends in prayer. Pray for Jake and Cole, his parents; for grace and comfort. Pray for Zac, who has lost his brother and friend.

Elizabeth, you do such a wonderful job at this. Your talents and way with words are amazing. You made me cry with this but that's OK cause it blessed me even more to see those pictures. May your family be blessed by all of Father's greatest riches. Thanks again Ulmer family for always being there for us. You're the greatest.
Jake & Cole
