I have just found this site after all these months, Jerry was my friend for over fifty years. She LOVED the Lord and LOVED her family and friends. There are givers and takers in this world and she was definitely a giver. I miss her letters and happy phone chats! She has her mansion now for eternity, as she couod have cared less about having one here on earth.
