Marv, Kemi and Williams' family,
Jerry Lu was like a second mother to me. Her home was always open to me. She was there to share important events and fun times. I will remember the special sweater she knit for me, the great desserts she made for me, and the engagement party she hosted for Michael and me. I will miss her very much. My thoughts are with you all.
love, Marjorie

Dear Marv and Family, We were so sorry to learn of Jerry Lu's passing. I have many wonderful golfing and fun memories with her. A "fun gal" for sure. Our sympathy to you and all of her family members. Ann and John Frankenberg

Dear Dana and Family, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I have great memories of her. I still have the "hippo" mug she gave to me some 25 years ago. She was a great Lady. Sincerely, Lissa Schneeberger-Lazarz

Jerry Lu was a second mother to me, grandmother to my son, and loyal companion to my father for 30 years. Since we shared membership in the P.E.O. sisterhood she was also a "sister". Rest in peace, Jerry Lu, now pain free.
