To the whole Cunningham family,

Our heartfelt condolences go out to you during your time of loss. I will always remember the pinochle parties you guys had at various houses. As a child, I looked forward to the ones my parents would let me go to! Seeing all of my "Aunts and Uncles" there was always the highlight of the month. Uncle Jerry will be so fondly remembered by the Walsh family, and never forgotten. You will all remain in our prayers. God Bless!

Cunningham family, we are very sorry for your loss. Please know you are in our thoughts and here if you need anything.
