Our deepest sympathy to you Marlene and the family of Jerry.
It was our priveledge having known Jerry through the Orthopaedic Hospital's therapy department.
Jerry always had a spark in his eye and was a kind man having known him for a short time. Jerry was blessed to have had you Marlene in his life, so dedicated and caring.
It was wonderful knowing that he was able to be a part of the Honor Flight and that we were able to present him with the "Quilt of Thanks".
May his memories bring you peace.
