Dear Kathy, Kerri, Noah and family. When so many years are spent having someone a part of our lives, they simply become a part of us. Thankfully, even with physical death, that someone is never gone, for that is how our gracious Lord created human bonds to be. Our hope is so alive in Him & because of Him. Each of you prove the truth of His love and the reality of His immeasurable grace. Until I see you, rest in His love. God bless you with abundant peace. My brother Jerry, you know I love you, for now you know as you are known! I am thankful that you believe!!!!!!!! Love, Bernie

Kathy, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I know it has been difficult for you for some time now. I am sure you know that Jerry is in a much better place, not in pain and that too means that you too are feeling less stressed, knowing that he is no longer suffering. May God bless you and be with you during this journey. Love and prayers to your family as well.
