Jimmy and Jerry, My thoughts are with you both as you grieve the loss of your mom. I'm sure there will be lots of laughs and tears over the next several days and I hope that you are able to find comfort as you visit with family and friends.
It was sure great to see you both at the hospital on Monday, just wish it would have been under better circumstances.
