Jerry was one of a kind. My husband, Windell, "K.C." loved Jerry. He had many wonderful teen age memories of Jerry. I only met Jerry once but what a memory. I laughed until I thought I couldn't laugh anymore. I will never forget when you told Jerry,"its my turn to have the pickle".
Jerry was so special to K.C. One day we will all met in heaven---What a day that will be---when we see our Jesus face to face and no more pain.
My daughter, Karen, knew Susan and Steven from CBA. in Normal, Il.
Our sympathy goes out to you and your family. Thanks for your love.
