Not sure what to say?

I have volunteered at Wesley United Methodist church and for the last few years I would always see Jerrys vibrant smile when I walked in the doors. He would always tease the millineal workers around the church which always brightened my day and my interns day too! I am so sad we lost an amazing soul and I always looked forward to socializing with Jerry at the desk when he was assigned to work.

Although geography tended to limit the time I could spend with Uncle Jerry, I do have happy memories of those times. He would always have a cheerful smile and easy-going disposition.

I remember my Mom, Alice Ward McHughes, and Dad and I going to Porterville almost every summer to visit her brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles.

Dear Kathy and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry was a playful, funny guy and I enjoyed having him at the church working the front desk. He was always so very kind to my daughter Alix and even went so far as to call her granddaughter. I will miss him. Lorrae

Uncle Jerry was a funny and friendly family member, and we will always remember him as a loving and giving person. He will be missed, and we're so sorry for your loss.

Jerry, my uncle. My dad has told stories about the two of them growing up. Being left at home when grandpa and grandma went into town, finding grandpa's tobacco and rolling not just one but all off it! Not smoking just one but smoking all of them!!! And how sick they got! My dad was about 10 that would but Jerry about 7.
My heart is heavy.
My soul aches.

Nina, so sorry for the loss of your dad. I pray for comfort and peace during this difficult time. Love you.

Dear Kathy,

We are so sorry for your loss. Jerry was a wonderful CPA and friend to both of us. His sincere dedication to our well-being and success helped guide us through our life. It was always such a pleasure to talk with him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
