Not sure what to say?

Remembering my best friend, Jerry Ann, with so much love in my heart. I treasure the memories of.the days we played as children, shared secrets as young teens, and laughed together as adults when we recalled those precious days of our lives. I will always remember you, Jerry Ann, and love you dearly, my special friend.

Think of Jerry so often, she is still missed in our neighborhood. She truly left a lasting impression.

Jerry, I will always love you and will never forget you. I miss you so much. All of the precious memories we made keep you alive in my heart. I can still see your beautiful smile and hear you laughing. As long as I live, I will remember you and cherish each memory because I love you so much. Your Forever Friend, Freda.

Still missing Jerry, a wonderful neighbor and friend. Our street will never be the same.

I will never forget my beautiful best friend, Jerry Ann. My heart is filled with love for her. I treasured each special and wonderful memories I have of her and I will miss her the rest of my life. Jerry was kind, loving, and always making me laugh. I can still hear her voice, see her face, and feel the love we shared, more as sisters than as friends. If I had but one wish, I would wish I could have known that she was ill because I would have been there for her as she was always there...

I will always cherish all of my memories with Jerry. She helped me become the woman I am today. I love all of you and wish we werent so far away! My heart is filled with sadness but it gives me comfort to know that she is whole again and watching over all of us!! I love you dearly Jerry and am greatful you were a huge part of my life growing up! I am also so blessed that you were able to meet and play with my little baby girl last year. It makes me smile!!
My thoughts and prayers are...

A beautiful lady has become a beautiful angel. We feel blessed to have known her as a friend and neighbor. May God give you strength and comfort in your time of loss. Avis and John Bell

I hold such dear memories of Jerry. She and Jerry were great neighbors and friends. Jerry was always there with a smile and words of encouragement for me. She will be so missed, but to know she is in heaven and no longer suffering brings such a comfort.

Love and Prayers,
