Sometimes mere words just aren't enough to take away our grief, so we rely on God for help and strength in our belief. May He uplift you and your family gently, take the sorrow that you bear, then comfort you with healing in the safety of His care. Just think, Jerrica is being escorted around heaven by her father, Larry Sr. and the both of them are watching over you all. May God's Love Comfort You and Your Family In This Difficult Time.

Jerrica was a very precious student of mine. With a compassionate heart, she loved all people the same. Her words were always kind. Her smile was beautiful! Her determination and strong mind carried her as she accomplished so many things in her time here with us. Jerrica was one of a kind, and she captured the hearts of so many people. I will always remember Jerrica sitting in the front of my fifth grade classroom and how her smile brightened my classroom each and every day.
