Janet, Bubba and Aaron,
Just found out that Jerry had went to be with the Lord. I know you will miss him very much, but he has gone to a better place where there is no more sickness. I was glad I got to see you guys and talk about our good old baseball days just a few months ago at my cousin Eddie's funeral. God bless you

I'm so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was such a special person! He always had a smile and was such a warm sincere soul. Although I hadn't seen him in may years I still thought of him often. May God bless you all with peace during this sad time.

*Note* Janet, I still have his SR class year book from Rule. Please contact me some time so that I can get that to you and the boys.

Jerry(Kit Kat Kid), you were a great friend at Rule, I am just sad that we did not see each other after we graduated. Bo Lackey kept me up to date on your illness, I just wish I had taken the time to come visit you when you needed your friends. It was great at Rule in our Junior and senior years. Our class ruled the school. I will always remember you & all the fun times we had at school. See you again one day friend and I will keep your and your family in my prayers.
