We at the Brighton House got to know Jerry very well and will miss him. He was always so kind and appreciative and was especially interested in talking to anyone that would take the time. He cared! We're so sorry for your loss.

I love and miss you very much. It won't be the same taking care of the yard and house without you there to remind me where everything is...and what great deals you got from the outfits going out of business. I love you Grandpa.

I keep thinking I need to head over and check on you, it's breaking my heart that I will never see you again or get to answer the question,"Do you think I'm a nut?" I miss fixing your TV, bringing you chocolate, getting your yogurt, watching Family Fued with you... Going for walks. Nobody can ever take your place. I love you Grandpa.

January 9, 2017

I was looking forward to getting to know him but alas, that was not meant to be. May you all be blessed with peace at this time.
