I am so sorry I can not be there, and I will be thinking of all of you tomorrow. I know the last few years have not been easy, but you have so many happy memories of Sunday Dinners and birthday parties to remember your mom, and dad. I will remember your mom for her happy smile and the joy she felt when surrounded with you and your families. And, even though I have lived far away, she always made me feel like part of the family when I visited.

I remember Jerry from the days of Brownie Troop meetings in her basement with Mary Ellen Jervey when our children were in school. Jerry was a lovely, kind and generous lady who was a gracious hostess to our group of energetic little girls. She will be remembered with kind thoughts by many people whose lives she touched over many years. Rest in peace, Jerry. God bless and keep your family.
