My heart is deeply saddened and many tears have fallen. I thank our
Heavenly
Jeannette
Thank you for remembering me. I am deeply saddened. My mom is at my house. We cried together. We will most wholeheartedly miss him. I cared for Jerry as my brother. My mother is still sobbing. I just read your note to her. I spoke to your mom earlier. I was going to call you but did not have your number. I can't imagine what Stella is going through also right now. This whole week I was unable to sleep right, kept on waking up every hour. Wish you and your family strength especially your mom losing her son. Again, thank you and Please extent my sorrow to everyone Cousin Carol
Thanks so much for the updates. You have been a tremendous help. I just talked to Stella last night and was waiting to hear from her about all of the tests. I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. Jerry was a wonderful person. . one of the most kind people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. May your grieving process be shortened by the flood of wonderful memories of him. There are so many I am sure it will help. Thanks again,
I've cried many tears since I got your Email about Jerry.
Thank you SOOO
On behalf of those that are left behind, we are so sorry to hear of
Jerry's passing. It is especially painful, being just one year
since Betty's passing. We have been experiencing deaths in our
family tree, as well; as we all know, death touches us all at some
point. The good news is that when we pass through the vail of
death, we truly lose little, but gain eternity. The Bible
assures us of the Blessed Hope. By this, we rejoice that Jerry
truly is rejoicing with the Lord. Our thoughts and prayers
remain with all of you at this time.
Uncle Jerry was very special to me. He always loved to kid around with you and made us all laugh at his jokes. My uncle had a very kind and a loving heart. He would give you his shirt off his back if you needed one...I am very thankful that he got to meet my wife Judy and got to talk with her. Who would ever expect my Uncle to pass away 1 year and 1 month after my mother passed away from pancreatic cancer last year ..Cancer what a word. It still sends chills down my spine.. Uncle Jerry, you are sadly missed by all of your family. But you are with Jesus and my mother Elizabeth and my grandfather Emanuel and all the other loved ones that have passed on...
My mother told us before she passed on that "Jesus has us all in the palm of his hand...He will solve all of your problems. Jesus loves all of you. And he wants all of you to live with him in HEAVEN forever." God bless. Sal & Judy Marca

May God give you comfort and peace during this time. We are all praying for you. In Memory of Jerry Marca 5 Gideon Memorial Bibles are being provided by Faith Christian Community Church.

Jerry and his family began attending DRCC shortly after our initial service in 1998. They have been faithful to God through DRCC and have hosted several events in their home including Teen Talk and Growing Kids God's Way. Jerry was a very giving person and was always concerned for the welfare of others. Jerry went to be with the Lord in Heaven on Tuesday, August 8th. He will be greatly missed by hi wife Stella, two daughters, Juliana and Daniella, brothers and his mother Maria (who lived with Jerry and Stella) and by all of his family and friends. Both of Jerry and Stella's families moved to the United States from Italy when they were children. They met and married as young adults and eventually moved to Arizona. Jerry was employed at American Express. The people of DRCC wish to express their deepest sympathy to family and friends. May God grant them His peace and comfort during their time of grief.
This world, however beautiful, was never meant to be the place that we would call our home for all eternity. And though we would not choose to leave, a loving God knows best. He lifts us to a place of peace and rest. For He has built a mansion where His children will abide. Free from pain and sorrow, forever at His side. He said He'd never leave us to face our trials alone. And though sometimes we fail Him, He never fails His own. And even when our choices are less than He would ask. He knows when human courage is unequal to the task. We cannot judge what happens, though tears and questions start. We only see what's visible. God sees into the heart. And though there may be many things that we cannot explain, we can be sure it breaks His heart to see His children's pain. In loving arms, He bears us to a quiet place apart where He mends the wounded spirit and heals the broken heart. And though these ones we love so much have left our present sight. And passed into a better world of majesty and light. Someday we'll be together in our Father's home above, where we'll thank Him for His mercy and praise Him for His love. May God ease your hour of sorrow and surround you with His love. And may it bring you strength to know our father's house above is a house of many mansions where His Son has set aside special places near Him. For His loved ones to abide. With Sympathy, Your friends in Christ, Wayne and Cheril
Please accept with deepest sympathy the heartfelt thought that there is hope in each new tomorrow. With love and prayers, Midge J. (Faith Christian Community Church)
Jesus Christ's love and kindness were readily displayed through my uncle. As I read the wonderful testimonials, I think how he personally touched my life by his Godly example. I remember my childhood when my family gathered in N.J. at my grandmother's house. My uncle always made me feel important and loved. My only regret is that I missed the opportunity to know him closer. My uncle's website is awesome, he was truly a man of God. He is an example to me of what a family should and could be like. When I visited my uncle in April, he was so weak and fatigued. He asked me, "...so Johnny, how are you feeling?". He apologized for falling asleep but still wanted to take time for me. My tribute to my uncle is short of what he deserves. Uncle Jerry, I'll never forget your smile, your laugh, your kind words, and of course, your sense of humor!!!! "Quame ambulance!!!!!" I love you and will always remember you your nephew, Johnny
May God's love carry you through this time of sadness and bring you peace and comfort in the days to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. Even in the midst of your grief God will give you joy and peace. Don and Debra
Jerry was a special, loving, compassionate man, who truly was sent from God to do His work, with his sites and his wonderful letters that we corresponded back and forth with. You see, I met Jerry through my sister, Beth H, and his wonderful, inspirational sites and prayers made such a difference to me. I am chronically ill, and, he made such a loving difference in my life with his caring words. I was lucky to talk with him before he got too ill, so was blessed and AM blessed, every time I remember his humor and love. The poem that you, Joe put on this site was apt and beautiful. Jerry's time was done, he is now with God and at peace, a job well done behind him. I will never forget him. God bless you all, Mary Anne F, Scottsdale, AZ Mary Anne F, Scottsdale, AZ
Jerry was the baby of our family. We were 4 brothers and Jerry was the youngest. My 2 older brothers John and Sal were closer in age and Jerry and I were close to the same age so we spend time together as we were growing up. We gave ourselves nick names. He called me, "Ramo" and I used to call him, "Chuck". I still remember Jerry as a little child. He was the cutest baby that I ever saw at that time. I was always protective of my baby brother Jerry. During those early years, Jerry was my best friend. We spend time together. We went bowling, played football and softball together as kids. He was my best man when I got married. Jerry loved children very much. I remember when my daughter Lisa was born. He just adored and loved her so much. He would spend time with her and played with her and would give her so much love and attention as any person could ever give. I will never forget, about 3 years ago when I had neck surgery, Jerry took time off from work and was there by my side next to me. This was my first surgery that I had and I was very scared. They had to remove a disc and replace with a bone on the back of my neck. But Jerry was right there next to me right by my side, every minute. He would tell me the funniest stories and jokes before my surgery and he would make me laugh. Those jokes and stories were so funny that I forgot that I was at the hospital for surgery. He was a joy to be around. And after the surgery, he was there for me. After the surgery he was there anytime that I needed him. Jerry loved his kids so much, Juliana and Daniella. I remember coming over his house and he would say I want to show you a short movie that I made of Juliana and Daniella. And after that he would show us other movies and more movies of his kids. He wanted all of us to see the joy of his life, in his kids. His kids were very special to him and he loved them dearly. He had several back surgeries in the last 5 years. But while he was still in pain with his back he would still coach the little league softball team with his kids and be there with them and for them. I remember watching him coach while his back was still hurting. He would never complain about his back hurting. I remember Mom calling me at home and saying, "You brother Jerry's back is hurting, call him". And when I would call Jerry he would say, "Joe, I'm fine". But I would say but Mom said that your back is hurting but he would say, "I'm fine Joe. Everything is OK". But he was hurting but never wanted anyone to think that because he did not want his family to worry. Jerry and I used to sing gospel songs together. I would play the piano and Jerry would harmonize with me. We sang His Eye is on the Sparrow, Whispering Hope, Supper Time and many other old gospel songs. A month before Jerry went to Heaven, Jerry asked me to play gospel songs over his house with our family and we sang to Jerry. I could tell that Jerry was hurting with the cancer but he enjoyed hearing those songs. That day blessed me so much. When I was down. All I had to do was to pick up the phone and call Jerry and my discouragement would turn to happiness and laughter because Jerry would always turn something sad into something funny and would make me forget all of my troubles and frustrations. I remember the last day of Jerry's life here in this world. I was at work on Tuesday morning. I got a page from my wife, Rose at 8:00am. I was about to leave to go to a meeting. I immediately called her back and Rose said, "Jerry has gone for the worse". I quickly went to John C. Lincoln Hospital. I saw Jerry there before he went to be with the Lord. I spend the next hour and 45 minutes there by his side praying for him and asking God to heal him but in the last few moments of Jerry life, I told Jerry that God was right there next to him and that he would take care of Him. I told Jerry that God is holding you by His hand and He's by your side right now. He loves you and we love you very much. Jerry I miss you so much. I love you Jerry. Someday we will all be together again. Now you are not suffering anymore but are in heaven with Dad. Your loving brother, Joe Marca
Humorous, inquisitive, family oriented and spiritual.

thought, exchanged ideas and dreams, words of guidance and spiritual
support. His love for Stella, Juliana and Love, Richard and Anna Brianna, Gabriella, Anthony and Arianne
