Stella, it´s hard to believe it´s been 14 years ago. Doesn´t seem like it´s been that long. I was talking about him a few days ago. He was a special person.

Stella, Kate, and Patrick,
I wish I could have found the strength to stand at Jerry's service and tell everyone about my friend. But I could not. I wanted to tell everyone how much his friendship meant to me over the past 29 years, but the words and my knees failed me. I also wanted to read this poem:
Friends
As we walk our path in life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.
These become special friends.
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.
Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even when we part,
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.
This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way, remain forever near.
Stella, YOU were the love of HIS life. Kate and Patrick, he would always burst with pride at the mention of your names.
I will forever miss him.
Love,
Jim

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that there is nothing that anyone can do that will make you feel better but I hope that you will try and find comfort in the wonderful memories and know that you have several friends that will help you through this. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day!
Love,
Lisa

I would like to send my deepest sympathy to your family. I've known Jerry since the 1st grade at Sacred Heart. He was extremely loved and liked even back then. I haven't seen him for many years, but he was in my thoughts just recently. My prayers go out to the entire family. He will be missed.

Dear Stella and Family,
Many years ago, I worked with Jerry at All State Management. He always made us laugh. I still keep in touch with Tricia Hurst, and when we talk about the "old" days, Jerry's name often comes up. We will all have many fond memories of him and his gift for making us smile. God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Cathy Hansen

Stella, Kate and Patrick,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. He was a kind, caring and accepting man - a genuinely great person. The type of person who was an instant friend. He talked about each of you often. There was never any doubt how much he loved and adored you.
May God give you peace, comfort and understanding that only he can give.
With my deepest sympathy and prayers,
David Palmer

I am sorry for your loss. I had an opportunity to know Jerry in our wood valley golf group. Each saturday morning we would discuss golf, life and family. I will remember him as a good person who loved his family.

I am so sorry to hear of the family's loss. Jerry was such a great guy and I remember him well in high school. He had such a great smile. May God give the family the strength you need at such a trying time.

You and your family have been in my prayers. I know this is the most difficult time. God will heal this huge hole in your heart. I so enjoyed getting to know you and Jerry when he was at Prudential. He was truly a good person, who looked out for others.

I worked with Jerry when he was employed with LandEquities. He was a great man and one of my favorite people to have as a client. My prayers are with you all and I just wanted you to know that Jerry touched many lives and he made a difference in this world. Thank you for sharing him with the Lansing community.

Dear Stella,
We have never meet but having played golf with Jerry on several occasions I can only imagine how much you and yours will miss him. He befriended everyone he meet with his warm smile. Classy guy. We'll miss him. Sincere condolences.

I got to speak to Jerry often on the phone at work and when he came in to bring in the bills. He was very funny when he was late with them-sort of trying to avoid those who were waiting for them. I was happy to meet another White Sox fan in the area-we hadn't known each other long but he still wanted to lend me his jersey to wear to the Tigers-Sox game in Detroit. I feel confident you, his family, have many happy memories of life with him that will keep him close to you every day. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Jerry, my friend, you will be missed. Your ready smile for everyone was a joy. Your sense of fun in even the cruddy jobs I gave you. Thanks for stopping by Georgia on your journey.
Stella, thanks for caring for him as you did. You are in my prayers now. May the peace of God cover you in this time of grief. I love you all.

My thoughts are with you at this time. I can only imagine what you must be going through right now.
Altho it's been years since I have have seen Jerry, Whenever we would talk it was like no time had passed, he was that kind of person. I know you have the strength to move on and I want to remind you that I'm only a phone call away if i can be of any help.
Take care,
Tom

Stella and family,
Jerry touched a lot of people;I'm sure more than you even know. I don't know the details, but I've been told that there was a least one kid at Dutchtown school that thought Jerry was pretty special and I know he gave me a wonderful memory regarding my husband that I will never forget. Jerry went out of his way to be kind and that is all too rare today. He will sincerely be missed! You are all in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Carlotta

May you be comforted by all the love and prayers that are coming your way. Jerry will be missed by all whose lives he touched. I'm sorry we didn't get to see him more often, but there are still lots of memories to hold on to. I still remember him as one of the "little kids" meaning youngest in the family. Now he is with the oldest kid in the family. Love you.

Jerry was a great guy and such a wonderful friend to my husband, Aidan. Aidan and I will never forget when he came to visit Ben in the hospital after his accident three years ago. It meant the world to Aidan and me! We miss him deeply. Stella, Kate and Tom, and Patrick and Vicky have our sincere condolences.

Stella, Kate and Patrick -
