To Susan and the family and friends of TGH,
We are very saddened by the news of Jerry's death. Joe and I thought the world of Jerry and always looked forward to seeing him every February at Mardi Gras when we could. He was by far the BEST first boss you could ever have, and many will agree. He always spoke so highly of his family, and many friends. He was a great mentor, a respected professional, but most importantly, our friend. We will miss you Jerry, but will always remember you! Love and God Bless Always, Julie and Joe Lancaster - Grapevine, Texas
