Arlene,
We are sorry sorry to hear about Jerry. We have so many fond memories of the both of you and our families. Those memories will always be cherished.

Arlene,

Mary Kay and I were saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. I will always remember him as a true gentleman. I will also remember when I first met the two of you after you moved into my parent's duplex and got the dog (Mom was afraid of dogs). If I remember correctly (it was some time ago) his name was George! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
