Donna...

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. I only met Jerry a few times, but I know he was a great guy and I also know how happy he made you. We will not understand while we are down here on earth why things happen. But I know your Faith in the Lord and all our prayers will sustain you during this time.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in peace.

Donna and family,
I am deeply saddened with the death of my cousin Jerry so young and blessed knowing he is now at peace with his creator. May you find strength each day as you heal from his loss. I regret not being nearer to you at this difficult time but send wishes that memory of his goodness will heal sadness as time passes. I cherish the time we reconnected this past year when I was in WNY. Life is short and God provides us opportunities to share his goodness each day. May you be consoled remembering your fondest days with him. May God provide all you need at this time!

Dear Mrs. Schober, Jay & John,

Our hearts are filled with sadness at the loss of Mr. Schober. We can not imagine the pain you feel now but wanted to let you know that our loving thoughts are with you.

I have such fond memories of him and your entire family -- probably more than you know -- you were like a second family to me and my sisters. Growing up, I always looked up to him as sort of a gentle giant. He had such a kind heart, a subtle wit and was just an overall good soul.

We'll miss him deeply but know that he's waiting for all of us in a much better place.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
