Hi!
My name is Jessika!##imported-begin##opepleVok##imported-end##
Jerovsek Family:
I have been trying for some time to come up with words of comfort to share with you. But as you know there really aren't any "right" words, when you loose someone you love so deeply. I can only tell you that you were very blessed to have a man like Tony for a father. He was something else. I don't think he ever called me anything but "Blondie". His sense of humor, compassion, and love for his family are evident in each one of you. I will truly miss him, and his family. Please know I think of each of you and am there if needed.##imported-begin##Gina Boyd - Shore Haven##imported-end##

Dear Daddy,
I think of the times we camped and how you protected us during the storms. How you taught us kids how to fish and ice skate. The day you proudly walked me down the isle on my wedding day and you looked at Rick and said take care of my daughter,and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
I rememberas a little girl standing on your feet while we slow danced at the V.F.W.. Daddy, thank you for my sisters and brothers now that you are gone they will be my strength and support in life. I will miss your smile and the raise of your eye brow. No matter how old I am you will always be my daddy and I will always be your little girl.

To my brothers and sisters..Dad was so very proud of you. So many times as I looked into his eyes and saw his smile when he was around us, I new he was very proud of his family. I talked to him a couple of weeks ago and told him what a great dad he was and that we all loved him. And of course he said he "Loved Us All". I see so many things in each of us that remind me of dad. His strength, kindness, compassion, stubborness, dedication and love, come out in each of us. I thank God for that, knowing I will be with dad each time I'm with you. His sons-in-laws and daughter-in laws were a blessing to him, knowing they will be by his childrens side. He loved you like you were his own. We love you all so much. In Dad's loving memory.....Min and Derker##imported-begin##Min and Derk##imported-end##

I was trying to think of the most vivid memory but there are so many great memories.Coast guard festival and christmas at the house. Fishing and squarral tails.(thanks to Dave)Summers of riding my bike everywhere over there. I still have a silly square rock that I found in the back of his station wagon one day. Grandpa would grab our ear to make us listen when we were young and boy did you listen then and you went any where he wanted you too go! We as a family need to carry on and do with our families as he would have wanted. Stand by our children and our spouses. Life today is busy and hard. We tend to forget the things that mean the most. Sometimes we even forget to take the time to make memories. We have tons of great memories with Grandpa and now we need to carry them forward and make sure that our family memories are there for the future. Life is too short and it takes something like this to redirect us. Remember to Live Life, Love Life and Cherish our families and loved ones. A change in life is only a heart beat away and we never know when we are due for a change! I love all of you and I will keep you in my thoughts as the healing process moves forward. I hope to see everyone soon. Love Lori, Craig, Anthony and Shelbi##imported-begin##Craig & Lori (Swanson) McMeeken##imported-end##
I wish I could have been with all of you yesterday and today. I'm teary right now. I have so many good and funny memories of eating at your back yard picnic table, Uncle Tony's onion sandwitches, fresh tomatoes, the Coast Guard Festival, stuffed toys in homemade back yard tents and watching game shows on TV. Uncle Tony always made us feel welcome.
Sharon took me to see "Uncle Tone" last August. I'm pretty sure he knew who I was and we hugged, he was tired. It's been a very long time since we've all been together, but I'll always have great memories of the summer times I spent at 1531 Pennoyer.
Mom's feeling pretty sad and lonely. I had planned to take her to Grand Haven next month, when we go to Lucy's graduation from WMU, but we just didn't get there in time. She feels sad about that.
We'll all remember him as one of the most handsome, strong and maybe occasionally stubborn men I've known. May all your wonderful memories of this special man warm your hearts forever. Jeanne##imported-begin##Jeanne##imported-end##
