Although I felt the time was near for Uncle Jerry, I was sadden by his loss. I will miss his phone calls and our talks together. However, I know God makes no mistakes and he is now resting and free from pain. May God's wonderful grace and mercy be of comfort to Mrs Pat as well as the rest of our family.
