Olga and Family
My deepest sympathy in the passing of your Husband and Father, Grand father, but yet In sorrow there is Joy, Jerry will now be with many of his friends and will look down on us, still passing on his blessings. We will all miss him

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Bo, Our thoughts and prayes are with you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am remembering a warm,smiling man sitting across the desk from me, intent on helping one of his daughters...I remember his smile and the joy in his eyes when he spoke about his family. I have had the honor to work with Mary Ann, Oksana and Connie in the past and I am thankful that our lives touched if even for a short time over the years. Losing a parent...even when you know that you must...leaves a hole in one's heart that can only be filled with the blessed memories and love that one...

Mary Ann,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Sorry we can't be there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Olga and family,
I had the pleasure of taking care of Jerry during his hospital stays. Jerry was a wonderful man whom I learned a lot from. I enjoyed caring for him and getting to know Olga as well. The type of love I saw between you and Jerry is the type of love I can only hope to have one day. Olga and family you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Without a doubt one of the greatest men I have ever met. A devoted man to his family, country, parish, and friends. Father Deacon was a model of what is now known as the greatest generation. His memory shall be Eternal!

Olga and children,
I remember the wonderful family who lived next door to us on Lexington St, the family with 5 young children who were so loved by their wonderful parents. Olga, you and Jerry were such an inspiration to us. We moved away, as you did too, and we lost touch. In more recent years, I have had contact with Mary Ann and caught up on the goings on of the children. God bless you all and know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
