Losing a family member takes another piece of your heart. God bless your family during this time of loss.

You will be missed Uncle Jerry. There's so many fun memories I have of you from when I was a kid, from the time I saw my first tree being felled to the times I remember being the most scared in my whole life on those Thanksgiving hayrides at your parents farm when you ran the chainsaw in the dark.
I also remember having a blast shooting dove at your place over the pond and thinking it was the best ever that you pepper sprayed me and my dad with buckshot.
I pray that you may now rest in peace and hold a spot in line for when the rest of us get there.

You are always in my memories and heart. I love you so much. Judy Dix
