Not sure what to say?

To the Jerger Family-
What a loss, not only to you, but to the profession and all who knew him. We are thankful our paths crossed. Our twin sons, Dave & Doug were his patients for many years, through college. One now teaches high school math, the other high school science and both working on Masters degrees.
May you find comfort in a favorite quote..."Don't cry because it is over -- smile because it happened."

Dear Rita and family,
I'm sending my deepest condolences to the family. Dr. Jerger was a wonderful man that I admired very much. I worked for him for 7 years and he taught me so much about dentistry, but also to have confidence in myself. He created so many beautiful smiles with his great work and made so many people smile with his kindness. He was much more than an employer to me and he will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

Dear Rita,

Our hearts are broken upon learning about Jim. He was such a fun guy, always upbeat and enthusiastic.
We remember fondly the night we all watched the Ted Williams' memoirs on TV at our home.
Our love and prayers go out to you and your family.

Fondly, Nancy & Dave

Dear Rita and Family,
You have our deepest sympathy for the loss of Jim. He was a wonderful person and a very good friend. We will never forget you and Jim traveling a long distance to come to our anniversary party.
We are truly sorry that we will not be able to attend the funeral.
Love,
Bob and Darlene Brockriede

Dear Rita and family,
We are saddened by the enormous loss we know you are all feeling. We share in this by having been fortunate to have known Jim -- if only for a brief moment in his lifetime. Our prayers are with you at this time.

I just want to say that Dr. Jim Jerger was an excellent and wonderful employer as well as a great person. The world has lost a very wonderful "angel" here and now God is blessed to have him with the rest of his Heavenly Angels. I worked for this great man for 10 years, and he taught me much more than dentistry. I have felt indebted to him for years and will always feel that way. He will be truly missed. I very much admired him and respected him.

WE SEND OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY FOR THE JERGER FAMILY LOSS. REALLY SORRY WE CAN'T BE THERE.

Dear Rita and family,
We are saddened by the loss of such a loving husband and father. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
