Teresa,our hearts ache for you. You and your brother have gone beyond the call of duty for a long time and it always showed when we would see you with Jerry. His bright smile and enthusiasm will be our memory of him. We will miss seeing him at K&L but I know he must be walking tall in heaven with no more pain.

To The Heath Family, Jerry was a good friend to my father, Bud Wamsley. Dad enjoyed telling stories of the good times they had together in years past. I am saddened to hear of Jerry's passing, but like my Dad, he is in a better place. I'm sure they will get into mischief once again! Blessings are wished for all of you, Joy Wamsley Moore
