Jeremy Roussel

Meet my son-in-law, Jeremy. He is kind, gentle, and the best father.  Jeremy is married to my oldest daughter Kayla. This week will be their fifth wedding anniversary. When Eric and I first met JJ, we knew from the first date that he was a good man. He comes from a family of 9 children. His mother and father raised him to work hard and taught him how to treat a woman with respect. I have never had to bring in my groceries from the car when he is around. He always opens the door for me. Without a doubt, he always gives the biggest bear hugs to anyone who enters our home. He has a contagious laugh. When Jeremy starts to laugh, EVERYONE in the room laughs, not necessarily because of what is being said or done. Most of the time, we don't even know why we are laughing. We all laugh because he is so happy. His laugh makes us all happy, sometimes to the point of tears.

I love it when Jeremy comes to the house. He usually looks at me and either say, "what's up tuts?" or "Hey Monya, guess what?" Then I say "what," and he says, "I love you," he gets me all the time.

Jeremy is a peacemaker in our home. He loves and protects us all. He profoundly loves Kayla, Recker, and Ezra. He has a sister who is mentally disabled and being raised with her has given Jeremy the ability to show unconditional love to everyone he meets. Recker, oh my gosh, Recker just loves his daddy. When Jeremy comes in the room, Recker runs, hugs, and kisses him, then leads him with his hand to the door--he knows daddy will take him outside to play, throw a ball, jump the trampoline, swim in the pool, or just sit and watch Recker be Recker--I LOVE THIS ABILITY IN JEREMY--

I have been so blessed to have Jeremy as a son-in-law, he was here through my entire cancer process, and with deep caring and compassion in his heart, he helped care for me when I needed it the most.
Thank you for being a hard worker,  providing for your family, being gentle and kind to me, and especially for helping to bring these two unique spirits into the world--my grandbabies, Recker and Ezra, will carry on your Roussel name and be proud of who their daddy is, and was, long after you are old and grey and have left this mortal life--your name will be praised by your children and family--We love you.
