I am a friend and next-door neighbor of Deanna and Larry Weaver. I wanted to offer my heartfelt sympathy during this sad time. We lost our daughter/sister/mother/friend, Heather, 6-1/2 years ago. It will be the hardest road you will ever go down. Someone told us, "You won't get over it, you will get through it." Please know your whole family is in our prayers.

Janice, Jerry, Rella and family, I am so sorry to hear about "little" Jerry. I didn't know anything happened until Carolyn found out yesterday (Mon.).

I am so glad i got to know Jerry as an Man. Being a former HHS player of mine it was an honor to see the great husband and father he had become. Ill never forget the years of hanging out with Jerry at the Elementary Basketball Tournaments and watching him call 8 or 9 games in a row, smiling and helping the kids the whole time. He was a great guy and will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Thanks for always being such a great friend!
