To the Mott Family,
I read of your huband and dad's death today. I did not know him, but I did have Nicole and Nathan as music students when they were in school. I also remember you fondly, Jennie. Please accept my deepest sympathy for all of you at this sad time.

Dennis and I would like to extend our deepest Sympathy in the death of Gerald.

Of all my uncles, Jerry was the one with the patient, kind word. His presence was always reassuring and he was a solid rock for our family. He will be missed many times over.

Dear Jen and family,
Memories of Jerry in his beautiful garden on a summer day are very special. We send our deepest sympathy and keep you in our prayers.
Love, Carol and Hank

You are in the Krueger families thoughts and prayers. Mr. Mott was a lot fun anytime I got together with Nathan at the Mott house.

If you need anything or you want to just talk, please contact me.
