Dear Icie and Family;
Words can not express what I am feeling. My heart sank and I cried when mom called me and told me of Jerry's passing. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend the funeral services, but please know that my heart, thought and prayers were and still are with you and your family. Jerry was a wonderful, kind, and thougtful man. I will miss him dearly. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers and pray that God will ease your pain. It will be a joyous reunion one day in heaven.
All My love,
Andrea
