Thalls family, Sharons death was a shock but this was too. A wonderful couple that loved each other and the Lord. They are in a wonderful place together and no pain and with the other Thalls that have gone before. God Bless you who are left behind. Draw your strength from God in this sad time. God loves them, we love them, and we love you. We share in your loss.

My dear cousin Jerry I am overwhelmed with shock of this. I was so happy to spend time with you year before last at the family reunion. Growing up together in Richmond you were always one of my hero's and I always looked up to you as the big brother I never had. As your father is you will always be locked within my heart as one of the greatest people I have ever had the honor to be associated with. As my tears flow always remember that I love you with all of my heart.
Rest In Peace my dear cousin.

Jerry, my dear cousin the shock is overwhelming. Growing up you were always one of my hero's and I always thought of you as my big brother. As your father you are one of the great men in life I have had the privelage to be associated with. As my eyes fill with tears always know how much I love you. May you rest in peace.

How shocking! I really thought Jerry would be ok with Sharon's passing. My heart was aching for him at the viewing; now my heart cries for his Son, Daughter in law and grandson! I am so very sorry for this tragic loss to the family. May they both rest in peace now. God Bless you all.

How shocking to first learn of Sharon's passing and now of Jerry. And yet, how comforting to know that they will be joined together again in Heaven. Our sympathy goes out to their son and family. Patti & Tom Swisher

The circle of life is now complete. As incredulous as it is, Jerry and Sharon are together again. My heart ached for him at Sharon's passing last month---It broke when I read of Jerry's death so soon thereafter--then it began to heal, knowing that this consummate gentleman, who I've known since 1968, and his chosen lady are reunited with the multitude of Saints in heaven...and all's right with the world. Bless both of these wonderful folks, and my sincerest sympathy to those who are left behind. "The Lord is my shepherd...."

May you rest in peace sweet brother of mine. How are we to live without you? No one could ask for a more honest and loving brother. I will always love you and miss you. Say hello to my Dieter. Your "eldest" and heartbroken Sis.
