Dear Kathleen, Joey and family,

I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about Jerry. In the last six months I had the opportunity to talk alot with him. Throughout all his pain he never complained. He seemed to always keep up a good front. He certainly had more than his share of suffering.
Having Joey there was a big comfort for him. He was always so concerned how Kathleen was doing no matter how he seemed to feel.
I am glad that I was given the opportunity to get to know Jerry better.
Please extend my condolonces to the rest of your family.
