Thinking of our beloved Jeri-

You know you have a true friend when they are there for you, not only to celebrate the good times but offer heart-felt support and encouragement during the challenging times. In the 7 years I have known her, Jeri was this kind of true-blue friend. She would offer her opinion---when asked--but never forced her opinions. Jeri always spoke of her children, Sean and Shannon in a way you KNEW she dearly loved, and was proud of them both. I will never forget how proud and happy she was at Shannon and Shaun’s wedding. I am so glad that they ALL were able to be together celebrating such a joyous occasion!

Most of all, Jeri taught me, by example, how to persevere and navigate the hard times, remembering to take time to laugh and celebrate the good times. She is someone I will always hold dear in my heart.

I believe Jeri is now at peace in heaven with Bob. God bless Jeri and her family during these times of loss.

Blessings,
-Lelia
