Gerald T. "Jerry" Behr

Though I never knew my cousin Jerry,I feel so sad for all of his family, esp. Judy, who I have met a few times. From everything I've read here, he seems to have been much loved. I am his fathers brothers child and I send my best wishes to all.

Here is the poem that I wrote and my niece Lynn read for me at Jerry's funeral.

I thought we'd be together;
for many years to come;
My love, my life;
The best thing that ever happened to me;
Was when I became your wife.

All my future plans;
Were made for you and me;
Our house, our cats;
Our little family.

Love at first sight;
Happened to me and you;
Twenty-eight years ago;
Now that you're not here;
I don't know what to do.

I feel...

Carol - we all know how he loved you, his kids and his sister. He loved his Mom who passed before him. Jerry was full of love and a wonderful sense of fun. I hope this journey is peaceful and happy for him. I loved him a lot and will miss the laughter.

Dear Carol, Thanks so much for everything. I only wished I could have meet him. You and yours are loved Perhaps one day we will meet. Thanks Reda

Greetings Carol-

I read a line in a book recently that to me is poetry; from the Crowfoot Indian People.

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night."

Your husband, my uncle, was a firefly in the night, whose humor and wit are remembered by many. Though he faced many challanges you were there to fly with him; and for that we are glad. May you be at peace and may your heart remain open.

Love, LynnMarie

Dear Aunt Carol,
