Junie, Kay, and rest of the family: I was saddened to read about Jerry's passing in the paper this morning. I have known Jerry since First Grade at Rena B. Wright and went all through school with him. He was a very nice person and I enjoyed his company. I will miss seeing him at our reunions! We had a nice visit last Fall at the All-Class reunion; we were the only ones there from the Class of '66.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
