Steve, Shari & Katie,Last night Tori & I happened to drive to Rockford to have dinner with the Gaskins and Adams and learned about the passing of your son. To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. From what I read on line about your son Tony, it is clear that he made a very special mark on all those who knew him. On behalf of the Jepsen family I would like to extend my deepest condolences to you. This tragic accident points out once again that life is a very precious gift. May the light of Christ help you through what must still be a very difficult time.Our thoughts and prayers are with you.Chris, Tori, Ross, Eric, Adam & Angela. Park Ridge, IL US

After reading other's entries in the guestbook, I can only echo all of the amazing things people had to say about Tony. Tony had such a major impact on my life and I will forever be changed because of knowing him. I will miss seeing him and getting a big hug and hearing "Hey hun!" He was truly one of a kind and influenced so many people in his short time on earth. Tony was the great person he was because of you guys: Sharon, Steve and Katie. I see so much of Tony in each of you and that is comforting to see his legacy live on. Your family has always been so special to me and my family and I am thankful to have you all in my life. I will continue to pray that God gives you strength. Tony's bright smile, personality and love for life will not be forgotten. Normal, IL US

Dear Steve,Sherrie and Katie,My heart aches along with yours at the loss of Tony. But you know, I'm going to try to dwell on how sweet and loving he was: such a cute little guy, filling our lives with joy and laughter. He gave us so much, and enriched our lives – I really did feel like his "extra Grandma" My memories of him are precious, and I thank God and you for allowing us to be a part of his childhood. When I look up at the night sky, I know that the brightest star up there has got to be Tony, lighting the way for the rest of us. I loved him, too.Mary Kay Decatur, IL US
