We lost our sister so unexpectedly.



To lose one of our siblings is a loss to difficult to comprehend.



God Bless Jeri as she goes home to be with Patti, Mom and Dad.



A candle of fun, compassion, understanding, love and friendship was extinguished when we lost Jeri.



God Bless John, Mike and Dave. We will be praying for you.

Jeri, my friend, my confidant, the person I shared so many memories with. I've known Jeri since the 7th grade at Richfield High School. Our friendship lasted all these years. The last time I spoke with Jeri was in October when my daughter was killed in a car accident. She called me from Florida and we cried together. Good bye, my dear friend. I know you are now free from pain.

I will always remember Jeri as a very loving Aunt. I have a lot of memories I will keep in my heart. I picture her in heaven with her daughter Patty singing Christmas songs like in our home videos. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dustin, Melani, CJ and Noah

I have known Jeri since I was 14 when she and my brother John met and began their life together. Jeri was always so beautiful - she "handed down" a pink poodle skirt and a pink sweater with white angora collar. I felt so proud even though I was not as slim and pretty as she.

Jeri was a good mother, wife, friend and sister-in-law and had a great sense of humor.

The last years had not been very pleasant for Jeri with her back bothering her.

We will all surely miss her.
