Uncle Jerry you will be missed. Theresa always remember nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people–they always go away sooner or later. You can't hold them anymore than you can hold moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside you, then they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.

My love and prayers go out to all of Jerry's family in this sad and tragic time. He was always so kind to me and always had a smile of his face. I just waved at him last week as we rode by as he sat on the porch swing. It saddens me to know that will be the last time I see his ornary face.
