We thought the world of Jerry. He had such a positive attitude throughout his illness. He also had the most loving family a person could ask for. We will miss him immensely. (Who will we send Whitman's chocolates to, now)?

Love you, Jerry.

Pat and Family, my heartfelt sympathy for the sorrow in your hearts today. I'm sure Jerry is free of pain and smiling on his loving family and friends. My thoughts are with you.
