Not sure what to say?

KAYE AND WILLIAM, WE WERE SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS. MIKE AND I WERE OUT OF TOWN, AND DID NOT KNOW UNTIL RECENTLY. YOUR FAMILY IS IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

Kay, Sarah, Leigh and Family,

Jerry was so very special. He and I hung out together in high school and had so many little inside jokes. He was just so funny and cute and crazy. Often times, years later, I would see him on a visit back to Buchanan, and he would always say "do you remember the time..." and we would laugh like two kids. He was a wonderful friend... no, more like a brother to my own brother, Mike and our mother, Lois, adored him. I will miss hearing of his antics. He...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

Dear Kay, William and family, words cannot express how deeply saddened I am over the loss of Jerry. He was one of my best friends at Varney. He kept me laughing with his funny sayings and antics.
I will miss baking pies for him on Sunday but will always remember how happy he was to eat them.
I am so glad and grateful that Jerry passed through my life and will be a better person because of him.
My deepest sympathy and love to all of you.
