Dear Jerry (and Jerry's family),I was so devastated to hear the news about your son Joshua. My heart has been heavy all week. I know what a great dad you were to Joshua, sharing in your passion for the Steelers together, and spending all your work vacations to see him. I also know how lucky he was to have a father like you because I know firsthand how much of a father figure you were to me and my colleagues while we were far from our families and when we were sometimes going through difficult times. You are a wonderful person Jerry and I would not have made it these past few years without your support and cheerful demeanor. I hope you do not lose that kindness in the face of such an unjust tragedy. We all love you and are here for you for whatever you may need. My deepest sympathies to your family for what they are going through. "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." With love and respect to the entire Morrison family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. There is nothing worse than this and no family should ever have to suffer through the loss of a child. I pray for you every day. God bless you all. I'm always here for you.

My heart and prayers are with you and your family. Josh was a good young man and I was blessed to have worked with him and gotten to know him. Remember the joy and the laughter he brought to your lives and allow those joyful memories to overcome your grief. May God fill your hearts with Grace and Peace.
