Dear Rowland family: My deepest sympathy to all of you.
I appreciate your call and am sorry I was out of town that weekend, visiting my daughter Sharisa in Illinois. Your message was on my machine when I returned on Monday. I am saddened to hear of Ger's passing but know he is happy to be reunited with Bev. Just imagine what plays they will be performing for the Heavenly Hosts!

I just found out about Gerry's passing. Having known him and Bev for many many years has brought back a flood of memories, from Sunday School to acting in plays with them. My condolences to the family.

Marcelle Welch and daughters were saddened to hear of Ger's passing. Marcelle could not make it to the funeral but wants you to know how much both of your parents are missed and what wonderful lifelong friends they were to Jay and Marcelle, and their girls, many of whom worked for Ger over the years. Our deepest sympathies.

Dear Family of Jerry and Bev,
I am very sad to learn of this unexpected loss you are bearing in the passing of your Dad. Jerry and your Mom have been friends for many years, as well as a great support to us at the Avalon Theatre and Video. All the Dent and Rowland cousins adopted Art and me as more cousins and we enjoyed many things together. I have not been able to know you kids except from afar. The last time I visited with your Dad was at Margaret's graveside ceremony . Rebecca, it was nice to get to know you better that morning.
I offer you my deep condolences in this loss and express my regret that I did not know in time to support you and honor Jerry by being at the viewing and funeral. You will be in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Family,
My husband, Stuart and I have just become aware of the passing of your dear father/grandfather and we wish to send our sympathy and love. We have known Jerry/Oscar ever since he married your darling mother/grandmother, Beverly. We are actually related, as Beverly's mother, LaVern, is my father (Rex Ward's) first cousin, and I remember visits from the family when I was a young girl.
We became better acquainted through the years as our children performed in several plays at Promised Valley Playhouse and also in a few films with both Oscar and Bev.
They were always such an example not only of acting ability, but more importantly of faith and good works. He will be greatly missed, but we know you will take comfort in the legacy he leaves and in the knowledge that you will be with him again in the eternities to come.

Elder Rowland was an example of kindness during the years we spent together in South African missionary service. I also had the pleasure of returning with him and Beverly for an African Safari. Both were a joy to be with. Norene and I are both honored to have known and loved them. Gerald was always such a gentle and considerate example during our travels. His friendship will be greatly missed. Elder J Golden and Sister Norene Barton

To the rowland Family,
I am Gerald's first cousin. The one they call Sammy, although my real name is Henry D. Smith. It was always a great pleasure visiting with your father. We were able to see each other at times when I had business in Salt Lake City or he was visiting in Virginia. We we seperated by miles of distance, but I always felt the strong ties of family.
I know the grief you are feeling. We all at some time must face the journey he has taken. Gerald was a good man. He is not alone on this trip.
My family and I send our sympathy.
Sammy

To the Rowland Family,
Many years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to perform with Oscar and Beverly at the Old Promised Valley Playhouse. What a remarkable couple!!! I remember many long conversations with Oscar and was always impressed with his deep humility and constant willingness to share his talent and wisdom. I have thought of him so many times over the years especially as I have pursued the "on stage" experiences that have enriched my life. He was (and is) a great role model and the memories of his kindness and mentoring will remain with me forever. He was a classic example of a person having the courage and faith to "walk the talk". A great man!! Dave Hill

May Peace be with you this day and Always.

To the Rowland Family:
While your mom and dad would not remember me, I have great fondness for them. Many years ago, before the new Church Office Building was built, there was a production of Promised Valley held on an outdoor stage east of the Salt Lake Temple. This was the mid-60's. Your mom and dad were both in that, and so was I. I've continued to follow their careers through the years, and have admired both of them for their work, and their supreme faith. I'm happy they have been reunited, although I know you will miss them...but only for a short time. They have left you a wonderful legacy.
God bless.
