Thank you, Dick and Dorothy. I can’t believe dad is gone either. I absolutely adored him and loved him with my whole heart. He is so much of who I am. Life is going to be difficult without him. I am completely heartbroken. I know that he always cherished your friendships.
Thank you Dick. You’ve been a lifelong friend and meant the world to my Dad. I’ll still stay in touch. Love you!
Mary-You and your family are in my prayers.
Mary, Melissa, Missy, & Mike…
I was sorry to hear about your Dad. I remember many times hanging out with you guys when our parents would get together. You might not remember my last name but my folks are Dee & Jake Tesar. Mary, I remember when you and your Dad came to my Mom’s funeral. You two didn’t think I would remember you but I sure did! Sorry I was unable to make it to the service today. Just want you all to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you…… Mike Jirkovsky
Mike, I remember you! We had a lot of good times with your family growing up. We have seen Jake on and off throughout the years, and a few times this last couple of months while dad was in the hospital. Thank you for your condolences. Melissa (Missy) Dennis (Houfek)
Thank you. Your Mom babysat me for a while. Jake has been a good friend all these years. He and I kept in touch regularly since Dad’s fall. It meant so much to Dad and us for him to visit so much. Thank you
Mike, I remember you and the fun times with your family. We have seen Jake on and off throughout the years, and a few times over the last couple of months while dad was in the hospital. Thank you for your condolences. Melissa Dennis (Missy Houfek)
