Pop,
More than a month later and it still doesn't feel real. I can't believe you won't be here to meet your first great-grandchild. I know you're already looking over her, we found the penny you left in her room. Love you always.

Dear Dad,

As I watched you take your last breath, I realized my life will never be the same! My heart is broken and will never mend. The family watched you suffer for 104 days. You put up a good fight even though you were weak and tired. I thank God that he put an end to your pain, but know you will be missed immensely! I love you always and forever❤❤❤❤❤

Rest in peace with Grandmom!

Until we meet again, Gerry

P.S. Bubba said to tell you he will take care of your girls!

Alice, our hearts are full of sorrow for the loss of Jerry. God knows the anguish you and your family went through watching him slowly fade away every day at the hospital. His suffering is over with now and may God rest his soul and give you and your family the strength to go on with your lives as I'm sure he would have wanted you to. Jerry was more than a Brother in law to me because we hung around the corner at 6th and Mountain sts. for years before you married him. He will be missed very much. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
