Though Jerrie accomplished all these wonderful things in her life, the greatest accomplishment is in the words of her song "She Loved". She loved her family and God.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for DaySpring Hospice: Samantha, RN and Sonja, RN, Maleeka, CNA, Dalton, Chaplain, and all the other very kind staff for their kind and supportive care they showed to our family through this difficult time.
