I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry was a wonderful guy and a wonderful cousin to Sonny. I enjoyed the many times I got to spend with him. We had a lot of laughs and I have so many stories of the two of them. I think Jerry was Sonny´s life line since Sonny had his first stroke. He loved Jerry and so did I. Love and prayers to all the family.
