I was one of Jerry's caregivers when I worked for the VNA. He liked having me because I liked to go to the many places he wanted to go. Thoughts & prayers are with his family, & friends.

Jerry never failed to brighten my day. No matter what kind of day it was, he made it better and would make me smile. It was a pleasure to be part of his life and I will never forget that huge smile he had. Sending the family prayers.
