Dear Uncle John,

When I think of you, I remember you smiling. Some memories stay with one forever, and as a child I remember staying over by your house, playing with Nicky and you and Aunt Doris always smiling and laughing. That is mainly what I remember about my visits to your home - smiles and laughter.

May you rest in peace.

Dearest Uncle,We are honored to have known you and have the most wonderful memories, from my childhood, as your niece, so much laughter, so much fun. You taught me how to use a wire wheel and more. As your "new" nephew, we had some really good times, working together on the Pa. house, lots of good talks, we understood each other.Let's not forget the POLKA! If it wasn't for you, i'd never have done the polka! We had some good times, in Woodloch and just being together. We are so happy you met the love of your life. There isn't the space here to say it all. We love you. We will miss you so very much. God bless you. Love, Kathleen & Eric

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 you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dearest Mrs. Levonchuk,

Please accept my deepest of sympathies, and may God bless you and your family in this time of grief.

After church, I always enjoyed chatting with you and Mr. Levonchuk about gardening and "Jerry Baker" tips and good old Bergen County, NJ. I was so familiar with Bergen County and the area because I used to work in Teterboro and knew the area very well. I enjoyed sharing stories with you both.

I am so very sorry that Mr. Levonchuk has passed away. He was a kind, gentle, warm-hearted man with a great sense of humor, and always a joy to talk to. Please accept my condolences and condolences from my mother, Stephanie Sabath (at Willow Point).
