We haven't known Shirley & Jerry for long but they made us feel like we have. They welcomed us into their home for the holidays and made us part of their family. Jerry was very caring and it showed through his smile. He is at peace now and will be in heaven looking down over his family.

To the Iwanski family,
My sincere condolences. Jerry was a good man, and on occasion when we needed assistance from Public Works, Jerry was only too glad to assist.
I will remember Jerry as well as his family in my prayers.
