MY GOOD MEMORIES ARE THAT JACK MULHERN WAS LIKE A SECOND BROTHER. BOTH HIM AND JIMMY TOOK JANE AND I TOO JENKINS TWP. DANCES. AND JACK WAS A PROTECTOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANCE. JACK WOULD WALK IN LOOK FOR JANE AND I AND RETURN AND GIVE US A RIDE HOME AFTER THE DANCE. JACK WAS FOREVER SPYING ON US HE CARED. I AM SURE HE IS IN HEAVEN WITH JO ANN. A BRAVE UNITED STATES MARINE. TRUTH JANICE SCHERER YUCAS.

Jack,
You were my second Dad. I spent more time at your house growing up than I did at my own. You and Mom made me feel like your second Son. I will miss they way you made me laugh, time and time again. You will be sadly missed by all of us. Give Mom a big Hug and kiss for all of us. Hope you enjoyed Christmas in Heaven with Her. You will be in our Prayers.
Love your Second son (Billy)

Daddy,
You will be deeply missed more than you know! You were my best friend, my teacher, and my father. I know you grew tired and wanted to be with mommy, so I had to let you go to your long awaited reward. Give mommy a hug and kiss for me and let her know how much i love and miss her too.
I feel you in the morning
when at first I awake
Your thought is with me
with each decision I make
You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look
'Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever
Although you've left
and now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love
Enjoy now your long awaited reward
Feel the peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
'Cause you live on in me even after you've gone.
Love always your little girl (dolly),
Ann Marie xoxo

Daddy,
I can't believe you're gone. Your strength and love will never be forgotten. I will take care of the girls for you as you've always asked. I know you've missed Mommy so much. You can be with her for eternity. Rest in peace "Herk".
I love you!,
Bud
You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The man I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid
