JAY BEREZUK July 26, 1971 - October 8, 2006 In Loving Memory Dear Jay ... it’s been two years since you left us that tragic day and I still hear your voice every time the phone rings “Vern, Vern, what’s up” and next you asked “Where’s Homer”? Some say it will get better as time goes on, time will never heal broken hearts, when parents lose a child. We would give anything to hear your voice “Hey Guys, need a hug”. So parents treasure the time you have with your children, because it’s not right when they are taken away by death, and we grieve for the rest of our lives. We no longer hear your quick wit, and snappy come backs or that infectious laugh you always had that made everything all right. Terri and Frank miss you so much. Frank misses the way you used to bug each other. Terri just loves and misses you so very much. You went from her bratty, little brother to her best friend and confident. If she hears from someone that people are talking crap, she jumps right in and always has your back! Tyler and Braylen talk about what a cool uncle you were to them. They have your compassion, love and respect, exactly like you Uncle Jay. So when the gates to heaven opened and God saw you standing there, he knew he had a new angel. God looked past your tattoos and piercings (as some people could not) and straight to your heart, and He knew he had a special one and so we had to part. You travelled a long hard road to be No. 1 son, but you are the best in your profession, barr none. We are all so proud of you. The respect you showed toward your family, clients, peers and friends will never be forgotten, and the ones that knew the real Jay, remember you with so much respect. You left a big hole in the hearts of many. Dad misses you so much, you were not only his son, but his very best friend. Dad and I, Terri and Frank, Aunty Debbie, will be back at our special place soon where we can talk to you again. Keep Calm, Stay True With hugs and kisses Mom, Dad, Tiki, Terri, Frank, Tyler, Braylen, Masai
