Not sure what to say?

Sue, I am so sorry to learn of Jerry´s passing. I remember him fondly in the early years of your marriage. I will be away Tuesday & would love to have shared his service. Please reach out to me in FB. Love you! Marie Jeffords Condon.

Thank you Jerry Smoak for your service to our community and to Westminster Presbyterian where I worked for nine wonderful years. Love to Sue and your family.

Sue. Ruth Ann joins with all our girls in sending love and in lifting you and the boys up in prayer. So proud of you and of them in the courageous love during this trial - the Good Lord will surely dispatch a host of comforting angels as He receives Jerry at last - we love you. And we miss him already. Devotedly Julian.

Great friends from day 1 meeting in college in 1963, to an usher in my wedding in 1969, thru our last conversation a week ago. On a scale of 1 - 10, Jerry ("Smokey" to his college friends and fraternity brothers) was a 500. A great friend to all and always looking out for the other guy. Until we meet again my good friend. I love you. Donnie Dowling, Houston, TX
