As a little girl growing up, the Faulkner's were very close to my family. Our mothers were cousins. I remember, Jimmy, Jerry, Diana and Lillian very well. I'm sorry I didn't know them very well as we all got older - it seems I missed a lot by not being more in touch with Jerry. My condolences to his family and especially to Jimmy.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Jerry's family.I grew up about a block from Jerry in Glenwood and have known him since I was about 5 years old. He is one of the friendliest guys I have ever known and I'm sure he is already smiling and shaking hands in heaven.
