Dear Ruth and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Jerry's death. When I saw him at St. Luke's it seemed that he was on the way to recovery. Rick called to tell me--I am in Arizona right now and won't be back until Tuesday, otherwise I would certainly have been there for you and at Jerry's funeral Mass. Please know that Jerry and all of you are in my prayers. -Fr. Laurin
