Dear Sis
What wonderful memories we have of Florida and Christmas parties and many other special occasions. Our favortie times have to be when we had Jerry and you all to ourselves and we would go out for a casual dinner.
He is the best brother-in-law that we have ever had and will hold him in our hearts for the rest of our life.
We will never be able to look at the Maderia Beach bridge in Florida without thinking of him and will call it Jerry's bridge from now on.
Whatever you need we are here for you.
Love, Tom and Elaine
