That awful feeling when you glance at the digital frame and see a pic of Garry smiling at you and you smile back and then get flooded with the realization that he is gone all over again. How I loved him. Deb

Dad,
A couple of years ago Justin posted a picture of the 3 of us. I was a baby wearing your heating and air shirt. Justin told me that back in the day you worked in heating and air with my Godfather Tom. I'm sorry I was too young to remember all of that, but I followed in your footsteps. I am now a certified heating and air technician. I think of you everyday.

Miss you tons!

Dear Dad,
I am sorry I have not visited this site in almost 3 years. As you know Justin died almost 2 years to the day of your passing. The pain of loosing you both was almost more than I could take. I almost dropped out of school but I knew that was not what either one of you would want. I think of you both everyday. You'll always be forever in my heart.

Love and Miss You!

Hey Dad, Justin found this picture of us back in the day when you were working in heating and air. Justin remembers this day but I don't. Last year I finally decided what career path I want to pursue. I am currently enrolled in the HVAC/R program at Blackhawk Technical college. So far I am doing great. Justin is graduating from college in a few weeks. He did it, we are so proud of him! We miss you so much Dad and wish you were here.
Love you Dad, Garry Jr & Justin

My dear Garry....Words cannot express how much I miss you. 1 year ago today you lost your fight, and I cherish that day because i was with you when you took your last breath. I will never forget that day. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do was to watch you endure the pain and sickness you went through. Im sorry I was selfish, and wanted you to go through the chemo. Im sorry I couldnt do more to make you comfortable with all you went through.....I love and miss you SO very much, not a day goes by that I dont think about you. Till we meet again my love, my best friend.......ALWAYS IN MY HEART. <3<3<3. Your lil Vic

Dear Garry,

One year ago today we were suppose to meet you and Vicki for your birthday. Sadly, this is the day you fell ill and we were unable to reach you. We often wonder if you received our card or heard our voice message singing you happy birthday. So today on your birthday we think of you and celebrate the day you were born. Happy Birthday Garry/ Dad! We still have a difficult time accepting the fact that you are gone. There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of you or miss you with all our heart. We hope you and Grandma Grace, Grandpa, Sybil, Fergie, and all the friends and family members we have loved and lost are having a big Majewski party in heaven. Rest in piece Dad, until we meet again.

Love, Garry, Justin and Lauri

Garry, the boys and I were so disappointed when our plans to meet with you and Vicky for your birthday last year fell through. Little did we know that you had fallen ill and we would never be able to speak with you again. Justin, Garry and I were devastated when we got the call that you were on life support just 2 days later. It is hard to believe that you are gone now and our hearts still ache with sorrow. We had our ups and downs in our relationship, but one thing that held true over these last 20 years was our friendship. The 90's was “our time” as a family and I want to thank you for being such a great Daddy back then to Justin and Garry Jr and of course Timmy, Ashley and Amber too :) We had a lot of fun back in the day and the memories of Starved Rock, Wisconsin Dells, Wood Haven, Sunday bike rides, Majewski parties and our camping trips will always remain favorites in our hearts and mind. I am happy that you came full circle and found true love with Vicky, your high school sweetheart. We all feel so bad that your time with her was cut short, but as the old saying goes “those we hold most dear never truly leave us, for to live in the hearts they leave behind is not to die”. Your memory will live on in so many hearts Garry, as your spirit will live on forever in our son Garry Jr. He loves and misses you so much and is so happy that you and Vicky were able to make it to his military graduation. Please be the Guardian Angel now that Justin and Garry need watching over them as they go through the trials and tribulations of life. Rest in peace now Garry pain free, until we all meet again.
Lauri & Garry Jr... " I love you Dad, buds til the end!"

You were the father i needed to become the person i am. Even tho we were not blood related, you proved time and time again what a father and mentor was. I will forever love you and think about all the memories we shared. You taught me how to swim, ride a bicycle, play soccer, go camping "the real way", climb a tree, and basically be myself with no regret of self expression. I am forever grateful of the reconnection we had made within the last 12 months. I love you so much dad. I miss you!!
