go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
as far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story.
avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. if you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. but let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
be yourself. especially, do not feign affection. neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. you are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
be cheerful.
strive to be happy.

I worked with Jeremy at Micheal Angelos Salon for over a year, he was always fun to be around. He made me laugh and still is the only stylist that can style my curly hair! I think that everyone is wanting an explanation why and how this happened. I pray to god that they find the horrible human being, if you can call him that, who did this to him! It is still hard to face the reality that he is gone. You hear about these types of horror stories happening all over the world but you never expect it to hit home. It really makes you grab hold of the ones you love. All those little petty fights dont matter anymore when something as tragic as this can happen to anyone at anytime. Life is so fragile. I wouldnt be surprised if this was a hate crime. I will miss Jeremy and his family are in my prayers.
Thanks for your comment, discoqueenvr. I am so very sorry for your loss...for Bob's loss...for your community's loss. I didn't know Jeremy, but I can see by personal testimony from those who knew him well that he was a caring, talented, tender-hearted and loving person. You do him great honor by giving your own thoughts here. Thank you again.

I live 950 miles away from Detroit and am a client of Jeremy's. I have traveled up to Royal Oak from South Carolina every 6 months for about 3 years to have Jeremy style my hair. If this does not say what kind of a person Jeremy was I don't know what will. He was always dependable, caring, kind and extremely talented. I am deeply disturbed by this horrific ending to his life. I will greatly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
