Dear Carolyn & family,
Jerry was always an important part of our lives. We could go for years without seeing each other and we could start conversations like we had talked the day before. He was a special person and we will miss him dearly. I know you have so many good memories that will help you in the days ahead, but he will be missed by you-his partner for so many years. He loved his children and grandchildren so much and was so much a part of their lives.
Just know that you and the family are in our prayers and thoughts. Love to you all-Joe & Opal

You were a great friend in high school and in the years after a joy to see at the class reunions. We will miss your bright and cherry smile as we gather this year for the 50th reunion. May your family and friends find comfort in the memories you leave behind.

Grandpa, I miss you like crazy. I can't believe you're gone. You will live on in our hearts! I will always remember you chasing us kids around on the golf cart and playing jokes on us with Brad.
I love you Grandpa!
