Dear Gertsch Family:
I was saddened to see Jerry's obituary in the paper. I worked with Jerry for 10 years at the Bishop's Storehouse, before I retired. We had so much fun together. I really admired him. He was such a hard worker and full of patience with Billly. Your loss is really felt by me, as I really loved him as a person, and co worker.
May our Heavenly Father pour out his comforting spirit on you at this time.

I too was saddened to hear about Jerry's passing. your loss is our loss too. I had the privelidge of working with him at the storehouse also for about the last six years he was there. It was not until recently when I started to place pallets on the shelves or retrive them that I realized how much he was missed after his retirement. My the good Lord bless you in your time of sorrow. It is through the gospel of Christ that we have a sure assurance of our eventual reunion.
