Not sure what to say?

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Jerry was our dear friend whom we went to dinner with and then played card games afterwards. His humor and bright smile could lift even the saddest of hearts. His talent was evident in everything he did. We will continue to miss the new Christmas songs he composed and sent in our Christmas card each year. Jerry has left a legacy of love.
