She, Mertie Sue Brakhage and I worked together there for many years. Jerry, you will be missed by all who knew you. John and family I'm so sorry for your loss.

Jerry was a frequent flyer of AFox salon in 29 palms , I had the pleasure of being her nail tech, for about the last 5 years.During those years she wasn't just a client but a friend someone I looked forward to seeing ,she always had something sarcastic to say, and always giving me a hard time. She was a fiesty lady, always funny and blunt, so we got along great.Jerry loved her bright pink nail polish and wouldn't ever let me change it because it got her the most compliments lol., She also...

I worked with Jerry at 29 Palms Naval hospital from 1995 to late 1998. She was a wonderful nurse and became a good friend. She had a positive impact on thousands of people through the years. She will be remembered and missed. Prayers for the friends and family she leaves behind.

Jerry was my attending nurse in the late 70s when I was a patient for several days at the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base. Being young and alone she was very kind and compassionate to me. I have never forget her and I will continue to remember her fondly.
John and her kids, who I had gone to school with, I wish them peace and love during this time of loss of a wonderful wife, mother and friend.
