To Judy, Debbie, and all the family, may the Lord help you in this time of extreme loss. Some of my happiest memories are of times shared with you all. Jerry will always be included in those memories. He was a good husband, a good father, a good person. He will be missed by all of us. God Bless.

Mr. Shehan was a very fine Paramedic. I had the pleasure of serving with him on many calls during the 1970's and 1980's while with the Tampa Police Department. A fine man and an asset to his City. My prayers are with his family, I know he is now with our Heavenly Father.
