Not sure what to say?

I am not certain my previous msg went through, so pardon the repeat. I deeply share in the sorrow and grief of the Carleton family. For each of you I offer my prayers, good wishes, and encouragement to carry on the legacy of what Jerri's life meant: her indomitable spirit, clever humor, her expansive love of family, friends, and students and especially her powerful courage in the face of many trials. Nick Barnett

Absolutely adored playing Bunco in the 80's with Jerri. I don't think I ever left those games with a dry eye . She was hysterical and so fun to be around. I am sorry for your loss. Kathi Fitzgerald

I was an active music educator at Assumption grade school at the same time that Jerri was at Holy Redeemer. I remember her joyful enthusiasm. I was also very active with the Orff Schulwerk Assn. so I saw Jerri a number of times. She bought a set of hand chimes from me which she used with her students. Those chimes are now out at Mary's Woods and the last I heard, were used with the seniors out there. Her legacy goes on. I am grateful for Jerri. Blessings to the family, Christine Weber Kearney

Dear Wayne. I´m so sorry for the loss of your wife. Sounds like she was such a wonderful lady. May she rest in peace. Btw we may be distantly related. Jim and Marcy Carleton
