Dear Susan,

I am so sorry to read in the Tribune of Jerry's passing. What a shock to me. I have not been in the swap Meet for over 2 months.

I will always remember his smiling,, and greetings whenever I talk to him. Swap Meet will not be the same without HIM!

Susan, you take care of yourself, and keep on doing your craft.

Hope to see you in our favorite place.

Yvonne Edmisten.
