Jerrie,
Michael and I wish to express our sympathy on the death of Fletcher. It seems like yesterday I met you and him at the Division. We really had lots of good times together with the Van De Riet twins at Buds. Remember. Way back.
In later years you taught my nephew's children to play the piano and they are quite talented. The Gerloffs of Chesapeake.
Bettie told us that Fletcher had been sick for some time. From what I read in his obituary he accomplished the most in life that could be. I know you are very proud to be his wife for all those many years.
Again, Michael and I wish you all the comfort and sympathy possible at this time in your sorrow

Uncle Fletcher was the best story teller. As a child, when he would visit us in Baton Rouge, he would always have a joke to tell or some wild tale to spin. He and Aunt Gerry would take me to the TG&Y to buy a model airplane to build. When we would visit Virginia, Uncle Fletcher would always let me go to Kay's Bedding store with him to help. I still have the penny he gave me as wages for helping (with $9.99 taken out in tax). Those are the sweet moments I remember about Uncle Fletcher that will live with me until I see him again in Heaven with our Lord.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Fletcher made such an impact on my life teaching me many lessons as a young girl that I have used through out my life. I will remember him as a strong man and I will miss him.

We feel fortunate that we got to know Fletcher through our association with Geraldine. Fletcher was always willing to take a moment to chat - to share his thoughts - and to hear yours. We will never forget seeing the loving look on his face as he watched his bride play the piano each year at the Christmas recitals. Those memories will live forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Fletcher was a "one of a kind" man. Always true to the Lord, his family and himself. He never failed to make you feel special as he was truly interested in your life.
