came home every Friday and joined us
here at St. Jerome for 11 a.m. mass
each Sunday. This person from
our community, a young gentleman of
our church, a man of good character,
was a wonderful role model who
unselfishly gave of himself to
others, his family and friends.
He truly embodied love in his
own most beautiful manner. He loved
our church, our community, and
Croatia in a special way. With
happiness and joy he came to be
among us.
On Tuesday afternoon, October 7, the
feast of the Holy Rosary,

He died suddenly that same day in
the evening at Christ Hospital.
