Hi Jeff

How time flies. Were not always having fun but we talk about you and all the friends and family alot.

Everyone has kept you up to date real good and what we don't tell you I feel you know.

So from time to time if you need to send any of us a message please use your best judgement and give us all a swift _ _ _ _ in the _ _ _.
(Opa K's favorite saying).

It does not feel like you have been gone for 2 years. Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday because the pain seems soooo fresh.
We all miss you alot and wish you were here but I know your in a better place with all our other angels in heaven.
Stay close to Jenny and watch over her, guide her and give her strength as she need a little extra .

know your always by my side and in

Our prayers and wishes are for a great year with family and friends.
Good health for all.

Love to you

Happy New Year, Jeff.....we miss you. The longer you are gone the more we appreciate our friendship.
Peace,
Ged & Joan

Hi Jeff.......As happy a time of year as Christmas is, it's also a little sad. You remember all the people in your life who are gone or sick and it's sad they aren't there and you think about when they were here and all the happy memories....now it's time to move forward and make new memories to carry us through the rest of our lives. The lovely addition of Caroline this year has done a lot for everyone's spirits. Me, Jenny & Ged did some power shopping last Sunday and most of it revolved around the kids in our families. You would get a kick out of watching Aaron being "a dad" - he's good at it Jeff, really, really good. He doesn't walk past his daughter without kissing her or talking to her. And he's a good husband, too. He and Erin are so much in love with each other. It must be great for Brigitte & Tony to see the reward for all the hard work they did raising him to be a good man. They are also very loving "grandparents"...YIKES! We miss you - the hole will always be there but so will all the fun memories. Merry Christmas , Jeff. Pray for us......

Hi Jeff and Jenny


Jose and I visited you and the rest of the Angels last week, ok you knew that.
Well Thanksgiving was very filling. Almost everyone came to our house. Alicia and Keith went with keith's family to Minesoda, that was different, but ok.
Josie and Bob really don't like Thanksging too much anymore so they did not come but they are ok.
Everyone helped with making food
it was very GOOD.
Jose will retire this month Yea. I will still work part time just to pay for my benefits ( will see for how long that last)
All the kids and grandkids are doing fine.
Just waiting for X-mas to come. It's the big 60 you know, We all had a party for Jenny at lori and Tom's house , I feel she was really surprised there were soooo many friends and family there, but I don't need to tell you that you see everything.
NOW to Jenny she's still in her funk but maybe a little bit better. Her legs are still an issue and she is always tired.
It's very hard for her and most of us
understand that as you already know that.
My hopes and prayers are for family strength and a happy, healthy new year.

Uncle Jeff,
The holiday season is here and we all are reminded of what this season is all about...family. We miss you tremendously, but know that you are with our other special angels in heaven! Remember that we will always love you and we will hold on to our wonderful memories of you tightly! XOXO

HEY JEFF
ITS THANKSGIVING TOMORROW AND WE ALL ARE GOING TO BE TOGETHER FOR THIS OCCASION WE ALL MISS YOU ALOT JENNY IS SOSOSO BYE FOR NOW LOVE LORI

PRESSURE IS SOSO DROOPING A BET

Dear Jeff, Happy Thanksgiving-I know in my heart that you are watching over me, our family and friends. We are truly blessed with all our family and friends. Without them I would have been truly lost, it does not get easier, but with all their help it is getting better. Now that our family is growing, we do not have 13 children we have 18, we now have 2 nieces in law,1 nephew in law, and three beautiful little ones, what morecan we ask for. Your mom is starting to cope a little better,as my new saying is day by day. I did get to missisippi, but did not get to see Elvis's graceland. Everynight when I take Winnie out, I look up at the sky, looking for the shining star, and knowing it is you looking down and watching over all of us. MISS YOU TALK TO YOU TONIGHT, WHEN THE STARS ARE OUT lOVE,Jenny

happy thanksgiving, jeff.....we have much to be thankful for this year, as usual. jenny and i visited you last week: we have decided that dusty miller is the only thing deer WON'T eat! please pray for us as we pray for you.....miss you, joan :-(

We have all had our up's and down's some just stay longer than others.

Alicia and Keiths wedding was beautiful. The day could not have been more perfect. Jeff, THANKS for that.

Girl Erin as of this morning has still not made us, Great Aunts or Uncle's yet. We're the only ones who are still just regular Aunts/Uncle. Ok I know good things come to those who WAIT, I'M WAITING,

Jenny is still as she say's in funk. I guess that's ok. She does keep busy and over the last 7 or 8 weeks has been the person in charge of Jennifer K. visit from Irland. We all took her from time to time but Jenny has her the most. They really had fun they both play a lot of nintendo, shopped and ate out alot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.WITH LOVE, BRIGITTE & TONY

February 19, 2008

A birthday is such a special day. It starts the cycle, which we call life, and before it's finished, it's filled with names and faces and dates and places and memories and races. And it doesn't end with death. Death is just another event in your particular cycle......but the people you knew and cared for and loved that stay after you are gone continue your cycle interweaving it with theirs and passing it on to those who come after you. We were happy to have spent time in your cycle. Please know you continue to be part of ours.
Remembering you on your birthday,
Ged & Joan

Hi Jenny 1-16-2008

I had a great time with you yesterday.
Our encounter at the cemetery with the deer's was just another sign that our angels in heaven are still watching over us.
Next time maybe we will bring food for them so they will let us closer to the graves a little bit sooner. That one buck just was keeing an eye on Jeff, then when he figured out that we were family it was all OK, and that we could visit.
My hopes and prayers are that you will take one day at a time. Take small steps everyday and set goals that you can keep/meet.
Were here for you always and just a phone call away unless, Oma G answers the phone, then you out of luck, so then call my cell phone.

Love Ya

Jose and Sylvia

God Be Praised For Lovely Things...
Stars And Mountains, Seas And Flowers,
But Most Of All, From Deep Within When It Comes To Pain Or Sad And Lonely Hours,
While I Have Praise For All God Sends, I Praise Him Most For Friends.......

Missing You,

Happy New Year, Jeff. One with no pain and no saddness. You know how much you are missed and loved and that will never change. Just help Jenny and your Mom.....Jenny has us but your Mom feels like she has no one now that you are gone. I hope you realize how special your life was to so many people. We miss you always,
Love,
Joan

Jenny & Jeff
You will always be in our prayers and thoughts. Jenny, your family and friends are and always will be here for you. Wishing you strength and comfort at this most difficult time.

~When a character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.~

Merry Christmas! Jenny, I am sure you miss Jeff even more at this holiday time, though you probably never thought that possible. I hope your happy memories sustain you and give you strength. Being a wife of one of the Baids boys, I have not known the Kuraitis family as long as them but I have always been impressed by the love and closeness you all share. Lean on your friends and family and we will all help you get through this difficult season.
You are all in our prayers,
Kathy Baids

HI ITS JENNYS B-DAY JEFF I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT HER TODAY NEXT YEAR SHE WILL BE THE 60. WOW, ANYWAY WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU. PRESSURE TODAY OK LOVE LORI

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

dear jeff and jenny,
jenny, i know jeff is watching over you especially today--your birthday...jeff knows he is always in our thoughts, and we truly love and miss him!!!jeff knows we are all taking care of you, watching you. this time of year is very hard-we have suffered too many losses the last few years.. but we know we are here for each other--we're sisters nd bestfriends!!love ya, brigitte

Hi Jenny and Jeff
Today is a very special day and holiday for us all.
Birthdays are the best days in life to remember, they are happy days and a life always begins on a birthday.
Jenny Happy Birthday.
These are the days of celebration and happy memories and if you remember what I usually say,... A happy memory usually washes aways your tears.
Well sometimes you have to work harder to wash away tears.
Trust me I know ( I do cry very easily too, sometimes even when I'm watching a Hallmark commercial, go figure.)
Celebrate the Reason for this season and all seasons remember all it's GLORY everyday.
We practice are Faith and all it's many challenges every day.
It does get better just like everybody tells us.
It just takes time.

You and Jeff are always happy memories for us and will WILL NEVER FORGET any of them and all the new ones we will make in life.

We all love you both today, tomorrow and always.

Love Ya.

Jose, Sylvia, Derek, Colleen, Alicia, Keith, Zachary, Lorelei.

I was lucky to have my best friend be you. I miss you Buddy....

WELL JEFF ITS THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND IT NOT EVER GOING TO BE THE SAME, BUT EVERYONE WHO IS NOT WITH US ARE REMEMBERED ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS,AND ARE THOUGHT ABOUT EVERYDAY. THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY WHERE I DONT THINK ABOUT YOU AND OMA,OPA, ICKA....... BUT WE ARE ALL A FAMILY AND WE ARE ALWAYS WITH EACH OTHER. WE MISS YOU. JENNY IS OK..........LOVE YOU LORI PS PRESSURE SAGGING

Dear Jeff....It's hard to belive that you have been gone almost a whole year. We miss you very , very much. The blessing is that you aren't suffering anymore but the selfish nature of the living is that we miss you and nothing can make it better. We talk about you all the time -- sometimes it makes us laugh and sometimes it makes us cry -- but that's ok. It tells us that once upon a time we shared our lives with someone who made a difference: who made us laugh and cry and mad and happy. And the memories of those days make us smile when we think of you. Merry Christmas, Jeff. With Love, Ged & Joan

HI JUST A NOTE WE ALL STILL THINKING ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY. I TRY TO REMEMBER TO CALL JEN EVERY NITE JUST LIKE I USED TO CALL MOM EVERY NITE, JENNY IS SOSO, SHE IS MISSING YOU, ITS COMING CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAYS AND IT GONNA BE TOUGH FOR HER BUT WE ALL ARE GONNA BE WITH HER, BRIG,TONY ARE REALY GOOD WITH JEN , THEIR ALWAYS INCLUDING HER WITH THEM.MIKE STILL IS HELPING HER. WE ALL MISS YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!PRESSURE IS SOSO
LOVE ALWAYS LORI

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.

Dear Jeff:
Today is a cloudy day and that is what happens when Fall comes around. Bummer, the trees will be empty of leaves the flowers will lose all there color and again it's still fall. This time of the year is a bummer for all. But memories are lifes greatest pleasure if you really concentrate and believe they will make your day better and if you choose to be lazy and bitter it doesn't work. So practice makes perfect so i practice alot these days and hope you do too. love always, Sylvie Poo and Jose

Hi Jeff,
It's me again. Just checking in to say I'm thinking about you and tell you Ged and I miss you very much. There just wasn't enough time to tell you how much you meant to us, but I hope you could feel it during the time we had together those last few months. Ged missed talking baseball with you this summer - he said it just wasn't the same. Please keep an eye on Jenny and your Mom...they are still having a pretty hard time. Well Jeff, I'll write when I can. Love, Joan

so much.Our family and friends have

hi jeff - it's been awhile since we talked. i hope everything with you is good and that you like what you see down here. jenny is trying so hard to finish everything you wanted done with the house, etc. she does ask peoples opinions, but the one she ends up going with is yours.... she is trying to help your mom with her sorrow as much as she can, but everyone forgets jenny is grieving too and misses you more than any other person you know. maybe you could try to help her with your mom - it would be a big relief. we all try to be there for jenny. i always tell her that even tho i don't know exactly what she's going through, i will listen when she needs to talk and i will cry with her when she needs to cry. i hope i have been a good friend to her and to you too. well jeff, ged and i miss you very, very much. could you kind of look in on ged every once in awhile too? he could use your help. tony sure has his hands full of kuraitis's, so maybe you could help him too. we love you jeff and i'll write when i can....joan

Mrs Margis-
No one told me about Mr Margis' passing- I would have gone to the wake to say goodbye I loved getting to know him and you and he was a great patient-- who i will never forget-- He is in heaven watching the Bears!! Praying for you, Karen Pacini ( one of his nurses on 8W SurgOnc)

Jenny,
Just heard through Fred Hoehn about Jeff. I too, worked with him at EMD for 8 years. I transfered to Kansas City now and work at the auto assembly plant. My sympathy goes out to you and your family. Jeff and I talked alot about fishing and "the big one that got away", and trips to Wisconsin. I know that he has the best fishing spot now and catches his limit every time. May God Bless You And Your Family.

AUNT JENNY

To the Margis Family and Friends,
You have touched our hearts- all the love and concern you showed Jeff. Having taken care of Jeff was an honor, he loved you so Jen- to see his winks/ and kisses blown to you was a real gift.
With warm thoughts of you,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jeff was a wonderful man. I'm sure he is in heaven, pain free. If there is anything you need, please let us know.

I will miss my friend from EMD. Each day we would talk and solve the world's problems over a cup of coffee. I wish we could have had more years together as friends, but all my memories are good ones. He made work fun, and gave the word "friend" a new meaning. I'm sure he has the only mansion in Heaven with a white picket fence, built by Jeff ...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

dear jenny: can there be anything left to say that we have not said since last friday? thank you for including us in jeff's final days. it means a lot to us. ged will never get over jeff........

Dear Jenny
We love you and Jeff alot. We will always remember him and that's forever. All are angels in heaven are dancing and singing happy songs of Joy. Jeff is now safe and healthy and will be watching over us all to keep us in check.
