Jerry,
I´m so sorry to hear about Pam. I haven´t contacted you in several years, but you are on my mind. I remember all the good times we had growing up, getting in trouble and playing. Those time are gone, but those are wonderful memories. Life happens to all of us and we have to deal with them. I´m praying for you and the family that god will help you through this difficult time.
Love you brother,
Harry
