To the family and friends of Jerry. I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who passed on our precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) Please take care.
