I was sorry to read about Mr. Bullington's death. What blesing to live until almost 100! I grew up on Longfellow Street in Lynchburg, and remember the Bullington family. I think that Jerry was the age of my brother Tom. I know that it is hard to say farewell to a loved one, regardles of their age.I pray that God will sustain your family in this time of loss.
