Our life together will never be forgotten
we were one sweetheart. Our memories

January 20, 2012

You are on my mind today as you are some part of nearly every day.
As you probably know I spent a couple of really nice days in Denver recently visiting Vera. We talked non-stop for two days mostly reminiscing about wonderful days-gone-by. We told each other many memories of times with you, things you did, and corny things you said. We laughed a lot and cried a little but it was good to sit and remember. I have purchased two little angels like the ones you were collecting. I love them and pray for you every time I look at them. I love them so much I bought one for Vera for Christmas this year. I think it means a lot to her as well. Thanks for the memories baby brother .... love you forever. BYK, k

Merry Christmas Sweetheart..If ever there was a time to believe IN LOVE, IN FAITH IN MIRACLES its Christmas. I believe there is a high power at work, because in a world of strangers somehow 42 years ago I found you, a man whose heart connected with mine in so many ways, a husband whose dreams and values were so like mine. Our heavenly father brought us together to share our lives at christmas and always.
Words really can't touch upon what I want to say . Whatmade me so lucky to have you to love for 40 years, what made me so special, so deserving of the unconditional love you had for little ole me. I always knew you were the one for me. I was always so proud of the man you were. I am so thankful every day that we ended up together, were were "us" and I loved us.. You were a special man, husband, father, papa,brother and friend. I am so proud to carry your name. Rest this blessed day sweetheart and always know we will be together again. I love you for giving your heart to me, I love you for wanting and needing ;me. But
most of all I loved you because you were you..
I dream of the day when I can see your
smile and the twinkle in your big brown eyes. You left me behind for now, but we will find each other again. FAMILY, IS EVERYTHING..NO MATTER WHAT. Rest in peace my love.

Karen Zeimet

December 21, 2011

Everyone is very busy buying, wrapping and preparing for the Christmas celebration. It all makes me ponder what Christmas must be like on your side of the veil. I picture you with our Lord and Savior and all our family together. What a beautiful sight that must be. Those you left behind miss you terribly, Jerry. We miss your sly little smile, the twinkle in your eyes, your warm heart, your great hugs and your non-stop jokes. And, I know for sure that your children and your wife miss your leadership. Yet, in spite of all of this, we are happy that you are safely "home". RIP bro--love you forever--BYK sweet guy, k

A day never passes with me thinking about you. This time of year is particurly sad for me. So many memories of us getting ready for The eve of Christmas. Our family tradition ended the year you were called home. I thank god everyday you are at peace. But sometimes the pain of not having you with me is unbearable. I guess I am selfish that way. But I love you soooo
much. Rest my love

Good morning sweeetheart. Today is thanksgiving and I just want to say may you rest in peace . And you are what I am thankful for today, thankful for you love and the years I was blessed. I am thankful for our children our grandbabies you gave me. ( high as the sky) . We had our time together and it was taken to soon. And nothing any one can say or do can take that away. Always know how much I love you and we will gather again for eternity. Rest in peace my love and I thank god for you. A very special man.

Karen Zeimet

November 23, 2011

Hi bro, today is the day before Thanksgiving and, of course, I'm busy chopping and slicing; but, it's all for the family and that's what being thankful is all about. I know you understood all about family love ... that's all that was really important to you. Sadly, sometimes things just don't work out the way we plan. One thing everyone agrees upon is the fact that your presence is sorely missed. Love for you is as strong as ever, sweet guy. It consoles me to envision you with family in Heaven when we gather for holidays. Love you always, little brother. karen

I really need you Jerry. I need your love and support. My mama is not doing to good these days. We will be moving her to a new place to live. She cannot be alone any more.
The drs. said she has to have someone with her 24 hrs a day, that her health is really failing . She has been in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms for weeks. I am really having a tough time trying to deal with the thought of loosing her. To soon, I can't loose my mama to. So much pain in my heart, I always had you to help me through tough times and its tearing me apart being alone. Watch over my mama sweetheart and help me find strength to go on. And if the lord should choose to take her please take her hand.
Rest in Peace and always know how much you
are loved.

October 4, 2011, we should of been saying happy anninversary to each other . I can see you standing in front of me with that wonderful smile of yours on your face with a dozen red roses. But no more, we should still be celebrating our love for one another and re-newing the vows we promised to each other. And our plans to move to our new home together, Little did I know that on 9/16/09 that you would move without me. You moved to a new residence, one without any pain and one without me. It's true we can be glad for your new life and new body and new home in heaven. But that doesn't make it any easeir. I guess I will never understand the timing . My heart is different now that you moved out and left emptiness in my life. How strange it is that the sounds of silence seem louder than the roar of a waterfall. That is what I feel in the house (not home) where I am now. Emptiness where once was presence. I miss you eyes looking at me , with the sparkle in your eyes. . And the love you had for life and others, But in the last days , they were silent. I will always wonder what you were seeing or not seeing. But I got no response. The eyes that once sparkled were gone forever.And then on the last days your eyes were silent, they weren't talking anymore. The eyelides down as though the were frozen shut. There was no more movement as though your eyes were tired and were ready to close forever. There was so much I wanted to say and so much I wanted to hear you say. Death hurts and no matter what anyone tries to do to me or for me nothing could hurt more. I loved you with my very soul. We deserved more .... They day will come when we will celebrate again for their is no celebration here on earth. Our love was like no other. Rest today sweetheart and look upon me and our family. You will always have my love high as the sky.

Love of my life, so handsome

i got to see 4 of our grandkids yesterday. Oh, how they have grown Jerry.Such beautiful grandchildren we have. Cody is in tackle football this year, Kassidy still singing and entertaining and has become such a young lady. Baylee, pretty as a picture and getting very tall. Jake, such a little lover, he is so polite and gives such loving hugs.I didn't get to see Taylor, she has a partime job now working with Nacole. We all still have problems dealing with you absence, but I imagine that will always be there. Everyday is a struggle for me. I need you so much, I have to deal with everything by myself and it get overwhelming. Two years have past and The vision of your last days still haunts me. Our family not the same. Rest in peace my love. Tomorrow would of been our 42nd anniversary. And I will always love you .I know you will watchover our loved ones and keep them in your loving care. " High as the sky"

You put your arms around me and swung me around we were so delighted. And so in love, Everyone in the room started clapping and congratulating us. He misses you so much Jerry, he tries not to show emotion, but I know he is hurting. We all miss you. Be with him today and keep him and his family safe. Rest in peace my love.

Sept. 16, 2009 Rest In peace my love.
We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone, for part of us went went with you. The day God called you home. Jerry you left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you. You are always at our side. Our family
chain is broken and nothing seem the same, But as God calls us one by one, THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN.
These words says it all. On 9/16/09 the day you were taken I cried and watched you pass away, although I loved you dearly I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, and you were finally at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me, he only
takes the best. Life will never be the same. Grief consumes me. I weep alone.
The Bible says I will be united with you and we will become one flesh, Well God, I ask What am I supposed to do know, You are gone, and I am left . Your lose was so very much more than just the death of my loved one. So many things were gone, your laugh, your smile, your touch, your smell your sound and the sight of you. Our dreams and plans. My life is broken and
there is nothing I can do to put it together again.God says he keeps track and counts all our tears, Well I have cried enough tears to fill an ocean.
I am still tryig to figure out who I am. Since we married young and basically grew up together for 40 years, I really didn't know who I was apart from you. I do not have a home any more because it doesn't seem like home without you. Its just a house without you with me. Your favorite chair sits empty. But my memories are full of our love for one another. Rest in peace my love. You are gone but will never be forgotten. I have no idea what my future holds without you. But I know you will be waiting for me.
Our Love was true. And our legacy will live on. Our grandbabies are growing up so fast. And you would be so proud of each of them. They are all miss their papa. Taylor, kassidy, baylee, Cody and Jake, our legacy . Our love

I wish Heaven had a phone, so I could hear your voice. I speak you name daily. Your memory never leaves me ,but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that, too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. Because you were my life. I still haven't figured out how to live without you. All I have are memories and pictures in frames. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart. Our love for one another can never be surpassed. And I will always love you. Rest my love.

22 months.. I long to hear you, touch you , see you, sit next to you , and just have more time with you. I want my world back. 80% of my life was spent with you. I long to hear your voice , see you face and the sparkle in your eyes. You have no idea how you
impacted so many people by your example, your spirit and you love. These 5 babies are what it was all albout. Rest in peace my love
