Condolence: Our condoles to the Schafer family and friends. The sting of death is hard for all of us. However, the bible gives us hope for the future. Perhaps you have wondered if the dead can really live again. Acts 24:15 says " There is going to be a resurrection". What can that mean for the surviving loved ones? Comfort when loved ones die; freedom from a morbid fear of death; and a "real hope for being reunited with our loved one". (John 5: 28, 29) May the bible promises bring peace and hope for the near future.

Condolence From: Jerry & Angie Mazurek
Condolence: Aunt Bethel & cousins Dan, Chris, Mark, Jeff, Russ, Lori and Shelley: Sending our condolences, love and prayers to all: So many wonderful memories of Uncle Jerry and the family through the years. Thinking back to all of the family reunion, whether it was him playing cards, throwing horse shoes, visiting or of course his favorite, playing and singing for the family. He was able to share his gift with the family and through his singing and playing, the twinkle in his eye as he watched family members, tapping their toes/fingers or singing along. He was especially proud when one or more of his "kids" or later, the grandkids picked up an instrument or joined their voices with his to entertain. For hours on end, beads of sweat dripping off his forehead or rolling down his back. He so enjoyed his music.

As the years have gone by, he slowed down a little and seemed to really savor the visiting and time with his family. I know the last few years, as I've had chances to stop in for a visit, he was quick with a hug and wanted to know what was going on with our growing family. Dropping off a loaf of Mom or Angie's homemade bread brough a big smile to his face.

Now, he will live on, through his family and in our hearts and the many memories we share. Please know of our love for you all as we continue to lift you up in prayer and place you in the hands of the Father.

Jerry, Angie & family
