Condolences for Adam Joseph Jansky

Adam, you and Tiff were part of the package deal when I married your mother. I can thank the two of you for me wanting to have more kids. I have so many memories that will never be forgotten. The cross country and swim meets (I never realized how much exercise parents got when they chase around the course at a cross country meet or how hot a pool area could get in the middle of winter). How about the morning I cut my hand open cutting the bagel for Derek. Getting you to school then off to get stiches. Trips to Florida or just the splashing in the pool. The life guard training classes were you finally realized how good at swimming you really were. Comparing yourself to Mike all the time and not realizing you were an excellent swimmer until you became a life guard. You were a big brother that all your siblings are proud of. Your care for everyone around, you never wanted to see anyone suffer. Thank you for our last supper together. That evening will always be remembered. Your plans to make those around you even better will always be remembered. Thank you for sharing what we had. I know you always wanted to do better and you appreciated all the help your mother and I gave you. Your pain was great. Now you can make sure my mom and Heather’s dad are behaving or is it the other way around. Love you Adam

Adam, you will forever be my "little man" no matter how much taller you were than me. As you grew, my shoulders became the resting place for your arms. You always made sure, where ever we were, to find something to remind me how short I was...including calling me from accross the store in "hurry get here" voice only to see you with your red face and shagrin standing next to the display head and footboard set a foot apart. You thought you were so funny...and yes, you were. When God provides life gifts, you are the best one he has ever sent my way. We have a special, unconditional bond noone can ever break. You provided a life and love in my heart and soul never to be duplicated. As a step-parent, there are many uncertainties. With you, I had none. Your family was the most important piece of your existence. When you loved, you loved with all of you, not just a part of you. The beauty within you will forever be a lasting tatoo in my mind, heart, and soul. My love for you is deeper than the ocean floor, higher than the tallest mountain, and surpasses the infinite span of the sunrise and sunset. Whether on the phone in silence, drawing cartoons, camping, fishing, attending sporting events, or playing pool, our smiles and laughter were endless. Not all was rosey, yet when there were tough times, we never gave up on each other and talked it through until once again we returned to smiles and laughter. I am so very proud of your ability to do the same with others; family, friends, and coworkers, so they could experience some of what I had. You brought great joy to my life and all those who had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with you. You will never truly be gone...only your earthly presence. I shall carry you in my heart and memories shared for the rest of my lifetime. I love you soooooo very much. I will "see you later" in the clouds.

My first born, my baby, my angel. You were a gift from God and I knew you would be an extraordinary man. You gave so much of yourself freely without selfishness and helped those who needed you. Your smile lit up a room and I always knew when that grin turned mischievous. I will miss teasing you about your hair color and wondering how much hair dye droplets I will find on either the wall or mirror. Or when you would say Aunt Jude will like it. I will miss your infectious laugh that just made me smile and forgot all the problems for awhile. Adam you were a great son I could've asked for, I am proud of the man you had become, you were my friend, and my angel. I love you so much, I will miss you with all my heart and soul. I'll wait to see the signs you are around watching over us. This is not goodbye as you will always be in my heart and memories. I will love you forever, I can't wait until I am with you again to hold my angel. Love always and forever. Mom
