Grandpa Jernas

John Jernas (aka Grandpa)  passed away early this morning.   I wanted to post a couple special pictures of him.  This first is of him and grandma with the kids.  (my dad is in the middle) this is one of my all time faves of grandpa.

This one was taken at the 4-H fair in 2004 with Samantha, it is on my mom and dad’s fridge so I look at it all the time.

Just a short public service announcement.  Take lots of pictures and video of your loved ones.  They won’t be here forever, and once they are gone you can’t go back and do it.  Ask them all the questions you wanted answered now  (yes pick up the phone and ask right now).  I am sooo thankful to my cousin Rodney who video taped Grandma and Grandpa Jernas years ago.  He set up the video camera in their kitchen and asked them questions and just let them talk.  I think later tonight I will get the video out.  The pictures and the videos I have of them are priceless.

To family and friends…. his arrangements have been made at Rannells Funeral home in Hamlet.  Tues 5-8 and Wed 11:00 for the funeral–  don’t forget that is central time!

    Jayme, I’m so sorry about your Grandpa. I made a video with my Gram a couple years ago so that generations from now will know what kind of person she was and it’s a gift to have, you are right. My consonances to you and all of your family.
