Linda and Brett, so sorry to hear about Jerry. Jerry was a valued friend of mine and hope he felt like I was a friend of his. I enjoyed a lot of good times with Jerry over the years and although I didn't see him as much recently I always kept informed on him. He was a man you could trust if he told you something as he would stand behind what he said. You don't see that with many men this day and time. If there is anything I can ever do to help y'all with anything, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I will miss being to visit with him even though it had not been much in recent times, and my prayers are with y'all. Mike Harbin
