I am sorry I can not be with you all right now but my thoughts and prayers are with you. Jerry is no longer suffering and he was blessed to have such caring children who were so loving and attentive to him. He is my brother but I do not remember ever living with him. We moved to 63rd Street when I was 5 but Jerry did not come along. He lived with Betty and George because he wanted to finish high school at South Division. Then he went into the army and then married. I do remember Mom telling him to stop bringing home stray cats and dogs when he came hime for visits from the army. He had nicknames for everybody. Mine was Queenie. Although we were not close, he is my brother and I will miss him.
