Yesterday

To the Family of Jerry,

My heart grieves with you. Jerry was my very first playmate - we spent our childhood turning the city steps of Bryn Mawr Rd. into our playground. Our mothers, best friends just like us, always kept an eye on us - whether from my kitchen at 753 Bryn Mawr Rd. or from theirs across the street.

Though we lost touch as adults, Jerry´s memory never left my heart. He had a pure and gentle spirit, even as a child.

To his wife, sons, and to Jimmy and Jeff - please know I am praying for you. The love we shared as children was real and everlasting.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
- Matthew 5:4

With all my love and deepest condolences,
Dawn Griffin
