Dear Judy,
I' learned only today of Jerry's passing. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I wish I had words to lighten your grief but sometimes words are not enough.
Jerry was an exceptional person who I had the utmost respect for. I'm lucky that I became one of his friends.
Please know that you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
With sympathy,
