I am grateful we had the honor of taking you to your High School reunion. We had a lot of fun hearing your old stories and driving by your old house. I'm glad Stevie, your great great niece got to meet you. She still plays with the cradle that you gave her that you made. We will keep that forever. I enjoyed our times sharing a glass of wine or a DQ blizzard. So many fun memories of you, Uncle Jerry. You were a blessing to me. Welcoming me into the family. I love you.
