Jerry Be the a will always be one of my favorite people. When you lose a loved one you want to describe the loss and the hole left behind. In Jerry's case, the loss is simple, but huge. He was a warm and stable presence with no phoniness or pretense. He loved simply, but deeply. He taught us the way and the value of face-value love. Thanks for being a "sermon in shoes" on how to love well.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Vonne. It was so wonderful to watch your beautiful three girls grow up and always see you and Jerry with them. Please find comfort in the respectful memories of Jerry as a Father and Husband. With sympathy,

Jerry, You will be missed greatly on Earth, but looking forward to spend Eternity with you in Heaven thanks to our Savior Jesus Christ !
You truly left the "footprints of Jesus " by the beautiful life you lived . A true gentleman who blessed me every time I saw you by your unconditional encouragement !

Praying for you all as you celebrate the life of such an amazing person! I am so blessed to have called him family. Much love and even thought I could not be there my thoughts are. Love each of you! Via
