I Love you Daddy

I will certainly miss Jerry. He was so kind to me over the years. I will never forget his visit with my dad last year when dad was at the end of his journey. Jerry took time out of his busy day to pay respect and bring comfort. Jerry was a good man. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sharon (one of my best friends) and her family during this bittersweet time. Jerry is rejoicing in heaven and suffering no longer for that I am grateful. May God's GRACE bring comfort and peace to you all....with much love---Rhonda
