Steven Andrew Jerkins

Dearest Steve...........these days are just whipping by so quickly. Now your children are sweet 16 and 15! I can't get my mind around the fact that they are both racing towards adulthood! We all see so much of YOU and your mannerisms and talents in both of them! Rachel is so artistic and gentle. She baby sits and is a fine scholar.......Garrett is our Pied Piper, as he always has a gaggle of kids following him, whether it's in the neighborhood, park or school. He is learning quickly how...

We gathered again on your birthday, Steve.
This is a day we celebrate your life. There is no command to show up but the family gathers to be together. This is how we get through our days without you.
We love and miss you. Figured out how to get this message board reactivated and all notes are linked again. It will be comforting to share with you again.
We wish you were still here. Rachel and Garrett are great kids. They are smart and have many talents. Wendy is...

I can't believe it has been eight years since we have seen each other last. Though I had just turned six when you died, I still remember all the fun we had together.

In Memoriam
JERKINS Steve Jerkins (3-1-73 to 3-23-06) Today you would have been 37 years old. How we wish you were here. Deep in our hearts you'll always stay, loved and remembered every day. YOUR LOVING FAMILY

May Christ support us all the day long, till the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over and our work is done. Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging, and holy rest and peace at the last. Amen. (attributed to John Cardinal Newman)

uncle steve just thinking about you, merry christmas i love you

Dear Wendy: I feel for you on this anniversary date. Please know that there are those of us that still have you all in our prayers. I pray for you when I walk the dogs past your house every night, and hope things get easier with time. I lost my mother last month, so I understand the pain.
