Finding out about Jeri sent me back a bit. She came out to Redlands, California one January I'll never forget in the early seventies. I visited her several times afterwards in St. Peter and Rochester. We once took a bus to Hibbing on Highway 61, part of my Bob Dylan quest. She slept on my shoulder. We shared music: Willis Alan Ramsey, Bruce Cockburn, et al. She is and will always be deep in my heart.

There was notice about Jerri's death in the U of M law school alumni magazine I received today. I was a law school classmate of hers and enjoyed her immensely. I remember that she gave me a card at the end of of our fist semester of law school. It showed a picture of a young girl standing outside in the middle of a snow fall. She had obviously just dropped her books on the ground. Her head was tilted back, and she was catching snow flakes with her tongue. I've often wondered if Jerri didn't pose for that picture. She had a keen mind and a grand sense of humor. She was down to earth and became a friend after only a few minutes. Even though I have not seen her since law school, I am sad to know that she is not part of this world, though I am sure that she is watching over everyone she knew and loved. My sympathies to her family.

I was a friend of Jeri's WAY back in Golden Valley. Our dads collaborated in the building of quite an elaborate Barbie doll house - her dad drew the plans, and my dad built the house. We wrote letters back and forth for several years after she moved to Rochester and eventually lost touch. I still live in the neighborhood and have always remembered Jeri when walking by the house. I'm sorry that I didn't know her in our college/adult years. She sounds like a remarkable person. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

I'm very surprised and sorry to hear that one of the "cool kids" from high school is no longer with us. I remember Jeri as a lanky, lean, athletic girl with her long hair swinging and a friendly smile for everyone. Just the memtion of her name brings such a clear picture of her to mind. I am happy to have known her.

Jeri and I were best friends our last year in high school - many long nights at Perkins drinking coffee and talking about "pitter-pat". I guess I followed her to college, too, where our friendship drifted apart. Too bad - so sad. I can hear her saying that. My sincere condolences to Dick & Jane (just like the book), Steve, and Susan.

Jeri and I were roommates at the University in this dumpy little house on 15th Avenue. There were six of us, along with various boyfriends, girlfriends, new friends and old friends. At any given time we could be six or sixty together for a good time, of which we certainly had more than our share! Many hearts were broken, many laughs were shared, many poems were read (and written) and we prefered Grain Belt, but could only afford Old Milwaukee. Our trip to Nashville in my beat up old state trooper car without air-conditioning or a radio would have tickled even Hunter S. Jeri was a force of nature - the world was lucky to have her!! Love to all who fell in her gravitational pull - Marta

I met Jeri at Mayo High School but felt I knew her longer. We lived only a stones throw away in Rochester. I'll never forget when she gave up a race for me (she would not admit to it)by a stride. It was the 2 mile I belive, the start of entry to freshemen track. I asked her i really won and she said yes. My parents did not let me join track, Jeri did.

I am very sad to hear about Jeri. Although I have not seen her since high school I remember her well. She was very nice, friendly, smart and cared about people. My sympathies go out to her family and friends.

It was my good fortune to know Jeri when she was in law school. She always had so much energy and pulled many 'all-nighters' studying to practice law. She had a wonderful mind and a brave heart. She will be missed.

I went to High School with Jeri, and was saddened to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I wonder if anyone actually reads this but here goes...I am a high school friend of Jeri's. We have not been in contact since our college years. She was a very dear friend that taught me how to be friend with a WOMAN. That might sound wierd, but we were both 'old school' in the 70's. I have thought about her over the years and wondered what her life was like.

Jeri, to you...all my love my friend

Jeri always had a smile that I will never forget. Every time I saw Jeri she was smiling or laughing. To Jeri's family my deepest sympathy.

I was very sorry to hear of Jeri's death. I had the pleasure of working next door to Jeri and I admired her courage in battling her illness. She was a considerate and kind person. My thoughts are with her family and I wish them the best during this difficult time.

I will miss you Jeri. Your smile is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of you.

Peace.

I'd like to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Jeri's family, especially to her young daughter, Betsy. I hope that the memory of her courageous mother gives Betsy strength throughout her own life.

I've known Jeri since she was a law clerk in the AG's Office. We had a lot of good times together and a few difficult, ridiculous incidents (which we always recalled and laughed about later). Jeri was one of the strongest people I've ever known. I'll miss her more than I can say. Rest in peace, my dear friend

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Jeri. I have worked with her in the past. She was such an inspiration to us all. My codolences to her family.

I interviewed Jeri for her first job on the AG's staff and latter recruited her for the Tax Litigation Divsion. She was a great lawyer (a clear thinker) and a great person to be around. I'll always remember her wonderful enthusiasm.

Jeri was one of my first mentors in the Attorney General's office -- back in 1987 when I was a law clerk there. She was always patient and kind and easy with a smile as I stumbled through those early "baby lawyer" days. More recently, I would run into her occasionally and was struck by her determination in the face of her illness, and by her still-quick smile and the twinkle in her eyes. I know she leaves a huge empty space in the lives of those to whom she was closest -- and wish you all the gifts of the memories you share and the gentle presence of her spirit.

Yo Yo Yo and drinking wine out of straws - two of my favorite "Jeri memories" I consider myself very fortunate to have had the chance to work with Jeri and to know her as a friend. Love you Jer -

Jeri was such an inspiration with her struggles each day to come to work. I will miss her humor and the many conversations we shared.

We are very sad to hear of Jeri's passing. We did not know her long but we enjoyed seeing her occasionally and talking with her and having her as our neighbor. She was most kind to our little dog Teddy and he sure liked her too. We will miss seeing her and are truly saddened at her loss.
