Jerry Gilliam was a good and kindhearted man. A Godly man and a good friend! I was so happy to hear that he was being laid to rest on the farm he loved so much and surrounded by the animals he loved. Jerry talked often about how proud he was of his family and how much he loved you all. May God grant you peace through the coming days.
