Oh Jerry,
How much richer you made our lives...deeper with your caring and compassion, energized with your feistiness and passion for justice, brighter with your quick wit and humor, you never missed a beat with a snappy comeback. But your care for me, my family, our organization, YOUR family, it all provided a comfort and a grounding that always made me feel better. Always and ever at the ready to help out with a tricky issue, steadfast in your loyalty, and such a proud papa. Of David and his many skills and diligent training, Carly and her work as an educator, Naomi and her art and coaching, Juno for just being Juno....and pride in all of us who gained so much by being part of your world. With always and ever gratitude...
