My sincere sympathy to the Schwarm and Chaves families. I was a friend of Jeri's in high school and her LaCrosse days. I have great memories and pictures that I will treasure forever. She was a fun loving, full of life person. I will always remember her with a smile and laughter, we had great fun together. She will be missed by many.

We were so sorry to hear from our church that Jeri had passed away. Derek and I were fortunate enough to meet Jeri through our church, and she was always the welcoming and smiling face we needed to see when we arrived at church. She always noticed our little boy and commented on how much he had grown and made us feel very welcome. We are so sorry for your loss and are so glad that we had the chance to know Jeri. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers!

Dear Joe, Joey and Mary Jane:
I was shocked and hurt when I heard that Jeri had gone to meet the Lord. I can not imagine the depth of your pain and loss. Jeri was a joy to be around, she was always wearing a smile and ready to enjoy a gentle laugh. She left everyone that she meet a little happier than they were before. When I think of Jeri the sunshine of her smile and her joy of life is what fills my heart, that gift will remain forever.......

Dear Joe, Joey, and Mary Jane,
How do you put into mere words the sadness we feel for you, Jeri's beloved family, after hearing the news of her sudden passing. Our memories of Jeri always have a smile and wave in them. Jeri took the time to recognize and welcome everyone. Jeri had a quiet, dependable strength that was woven through the activities that she so willingly gave her time to do. Whether it was walking the dog, volunteering at Afton Lakeland school, being an election official for her city, or supporting her husband and children's desires, Jeri was there with a willing spirit and confident attitude. We hope in these days of grief and loss, memories of your mom and wife wrap you in quiet comfort that Jeri will always be with you and all of us in the way she has touched our individual lives and we will see her again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Joey, the tragic news of Jeri's passing was a shock, and my heart bleeds for you. Jeri and I worked together at GS, and I felt a tremendous bond with her from the 1st day I met her. I have many happy memories of her, that I will hold onto dearly. Although over time we have lost touch, I still find myself thinking of her, wondering how she is, and smiling of my thoughts of her. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your children in this difficult time.
