Dear Kathy and Family,
My name is Laura McGivern Anzelmo. Jerry is my cousin. My father, John McGivern, and Jerry were great friends. Jerry was in my mom and dad's wedding as my father's best man. I am so sorry to hear about Jerry's death. What a great man! My sister-in-law found Jerry's death notice in the paper yesterday, 3-9-08, and quickly called all of us. We are deeply saddened and sorry for your loss. Love, Laura McGivern Anzelmo and Family

To the Groom Family: My dad was James D. Haggerty Class of 1952 from Chicago, Illinois. My grandfather and two uncles are N.D. grad's Dick Class of 47, Joseph Class of 57 and Richard Class of 1914, the same year as Knute Rockne. My dad would bring Jerry home on weekends to get some of Grandma's home cooking. Although I never had the honor to meet Jerry, I know what type of man he was. He was a man of character, hard work and integrity. He was a Notre Dame in the very best sense of the word....
