Jackie and Gerry... I remember Audrey and Jerry fondly. They were easy "family party" companions and I always enjoyed it when we had a chance to hook up! Jackie...I'm so sorry for your loss. When I first met your mother, I found the resemblance between you and her striking and it was nice to see. She is resting in God's blessing. God bless you and Gerry... Love, Molly (M. Miller)
