Mr. Jagela was like the Dad that I never had. I will always remember good memories of him in the garden and backyard and all of those birdhouses. With deepest sympathy, Nikki, Elena, and Dan
My sister, Nikki, and I grew up next door to Mr. Jagela. He really was like a father to us. Everytime we would look outside or play in the neighborhood with Michael… there he would be in his yard. I am very sorry we cannot attend the services, but please know that he will always have a special place in my heart. With deepest sympathy, Angela & Tom

Dear Ed, Walt & Michael: Please know that I extend my deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. My mother, before she died, had often told me of how you three cared for your father after your own mohter’s passing. Well, now your father and mother are together again, in God’s presence, and that affords some consolation. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Stas
