Dear Jerry... I never had a bad moment under your instruction... how incredible... Your positive attitude engulfed the dance classroom always... You were such a marvelous presence in my life... I´m so fortunate to have had your guidance. I will miss you dearly. Alma

Sending sympathy, blessings and prayers for the family. We are distant cousins through my great grandfather Robert McLarry from McKinney and Jerry´s mother, Mary McLarry Bywaters. Dallas has lost one of their most talented people. May she Rest In Peace.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Jerry, Calloway and big Mary took me under their wings and supported me throughout their lives. For this, I am grateful. So many of us are indebted to the Bywaters family for bringing a passion for the arts to North Texas. I will always remember Jerry with heartfelt admiration and love. She put modern dance on the map in our region.

We had some wonderful times over the years, we will miss you.
