Our dear Jerry...as one of the 'in-laws, we shared so much together (our children are married to one-another). We would go out to dinner with Ken and Jerry, brag about our children and never get bored sharing stories about our grand kids. We would keep one another posted as to what the ˜kids' were doing. Jerry would always keep us posted on Weston's baseball progress and Savannah's horsemanship.
Oh, how we will miss that time together. It was always fun to be with Geraldine; holidays were spent visiting and catching up on family news. We thought we would always have those times, and go out for those dinners. Jerry, we loved you and will miss you. What are we going to do without you?
Our hearts are so sad, but we are glad for the time we did have with you, your cheerful smile and happy laugh. Our Jerry, gone way too soon.
Our love always,
Joe and Penny

Jerry and I were best friends in PB elemetary and jr. hi school. We lived in the same war time development (Bayview Terrace) and spent many long sunny days playing at the beach. She was alot of fun to grow up with. Her mom and pop were much like mine and we felt confortable in each others homes. Giggle we did, at anything and everything, we drove our parents crazy. I hated that she could run faster, swim farther, and hit a baseball harder. We drifted away in hi school, but I remember with fond memories that wonderful 12 year old friend. She was one of the good ones.
Remember her well.

Jerry was one of my fondest memories from both junior high in PB and high school at La Jolla. Always a live wire and simply great fun to be around. And of course she demonstrated great judgement when she married a Naval Aviator. In recent years I saw and talked to her at reunions. She was always the vivacious one, and just a joy to be around. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
