Anne,

Thank you so much for calling yesterday to let me know about Jerry. The Lord used him profoundly in my life after I was converted. I share Clara's sentiments about his influence at Tenth. We will continue to pray for you in the days to come.

Aunt Pat, Uncle Jerry & Ann,
I will always remember Jerry with a smile on my face. Growing up I saw him every Friday on Pizza night. I will miss him. Love and hugs to the entire family.

I had recently read about Jerry's sudden passing into God's presence. He was my first friend from Tenth Church, introduced me to a lot of the wonderful people and the life of the church as a whole. He will always be remembered as a caring, compassionate person, playfully humorous, a loyal friend, and a loving husband and dad. Most of all, he'll be remembered as a truly godly Christian who loved his Savior. To Anne and children, know that I am praying for you.
