Not sure what to say?

Jerbear was a loving ,kind and gentle man. Everyone here at Garrett Woods always spoke to Jerbear. He loved being out and about visiting with friends. He had a hearty appetite for friends, family and fried catfish. He loved his hamburgers to! We used to walk outside and sit in the sun anytime he wanted. He could throw a " mean" cornhole game!!! I so loved being his friend and caregiver. I will miss my Jerbear!!! Prayers for his loving family. Love Kathy Walston. ps: See you on the other...

Forever in my heart and thoughts Uncle Jerry B. All my love
