Brother, you are missed terribly by all of us left behind. We trust in the Lord to see you again someday. Know that you are loved by Jen and myself and our prayers are with you!!!!
In loving memory of Jerry because he was foundational in the shaping of what unconditional love represents.
I went to high school with Jerry for four years. We were on the football and baseball teams together. He was always some one you wanted on your team. Years ago, when I would visit the library in Ft. Wayne, I would give him a call. We always had enjoyable talks. You are all fortunate to have had such a good man in your life. You will always be able to draw on those memories. I know he was the best part of your life.
I’m sorry for your loss, Jerry was a wonderful friend & neighbor for decaades and will be greatly missed. If you need anything, please let me know I’m right across the street. .
