The best memories I have of Jerry are when we were young going to church at Bethlehem Presbyterian Church with Rev. Furgess. Gerry was always so good attending and helping out at the church. I am sure he will be missed.
MAY HIS MEMORY BE FOREVER ETERNAL

I can´t believe that you didn´t get back to Brookfield. When I talked to you, you were planning to come home to Brookfield,but said you had leg problems. I´m shocked to hear of your pasting. Rest in peace my dear friend. God bless all of your families. Katie
