Hi,

I just sent an entry in Jerry's guest book and gave an incorrect e-mail address.

I'll try again,

I worked with Jerry way back in the '60's at Mace Investment Corp. in Norfolk. She was a real character and always fun to be around.
She was so very proud of her children and always loved her trips to San Francisco to visit Nancy. I remember her stories of the wonderful city and she would bring us some famous sour dough bread.

I actually was looking through some old pictures the other day and saw one of Jerry.

I know you will miss her dearly.

Please accept my condolences.

Sincerely,
Linda Loulies
