My name is Dawn Panzarelli. My good friend, Michelle Stanlis, suffered the devastating loss of her husband of 17 years, Jesse, on February 19th, 2017. Jesse was also the loving father to Cora (15) and Jocelyn (12) and son of Keith and Nancy...as well as numerous heartbroken family members.
Jesse was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed nature, fishing, bird watching, gardening and spending time at Merrill Creek Reservoir. He enjoyed music, writing poetry and philosophy, and he loved watching European football. For those of you that knew Jesse personally, you know that he was available with a simple phone call, should you need anything.
As Michelle continues her journey through life without Jesse, I would like to ease the financial burden of her now being a single mother. Michelle and the girls would like to remain in the family home in Lopatcong, NJ as well as plan for Cora and Joceyln's future education. It is my hope and wish that her friends can help ease that burden for her, even just a little.
Please keep Michelle, Cora and Jocelyn in your thoughts and prayers. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"One by one, all light goes out
true as the arrow, I point to you
in the darkness, in the light of day
now under only one starry sky, I walk home
Away from everything worth never missing
Away from time not worth spending, like that
why is it I do, what it is I do
when I'm not on my way back to all of you
Free as a bird, unafraid
today has come and gone, no new scars to tally
now under only one starry sky, I walk home
light is the step, drawing closer
when I'm on my way back, to all of you"
