Jessica and Avery,

You both have been on mine and the boys mind. We miss Jerry with all of our hearts. My boys and I love you all. If you need anything please let us know. If you need to talk call anytime day or night. I know how hard this must be. Let the lord help you though this. It will be easier in time. You never forget but in time you will remember all the good times and your heart will heal. Jerry was a great friend Hoss loved him. Now they are up there together. One day we will see them again.

Love you,

To the entire Underwood family. We are so sorry for your loss and I know Jerry will be missed. Jeff, you were your brother's keeper and Missy you were like Jerry's sister. He'd take your advise and thought so much of you. He was brave and well loved. Your family is in my prayers. Love Maria Carroll and family.
