I met Jerry and Carol at the PNMC Cancer Center. I was newly diagnosed, scared and nervous. They opened their hearts to my husband Greg and I and made us feel at home. Carol was always charming and gorgeous and while she was in being treated, Jerry would express his love and devotion to her. He said if God would give them 6 more years, they would be complete. I am so sorry that you didn't get to have that time together. Jerry was so positive that Carol's treatment would be sucessful. He only mentioned in passing that she had saved his life during his illness and he hoped to be able to do the same for her, by supporting her during her treatment. God Bless you both. I know one day you'll be together forever and six years will be a drop in the bucket.
God's Peace to all of the Conrad family.

Jerry, of course we will miss you down here on earth but one day will see you again. You left behind so many people that loved you and so many great memory's as we can not stop telling the story's. You were the best father-in-law ever and I personally am a changed person by having you in my life.

Say Hi to my Dad and oldest Sister if you get a minute and tell them I love them to.

Blessed be the Lord.
