Kathy and family, We were so sorry to hear of Jerry's death. It must have been a terrible shock to you.

Carl and I would have been at the service, but we were up in Grand Rapids helping put on a big party for my Mother's 100th birthday.

We both thoroughly enjoyed working with Jerry. He was always pleasant and smiling whenever I walked over to Repro and needed some help. Our prayers are with you, Kathy and girls, at this very difficult time.

Love, Joan and Carl

Kathy,

My heart goes out to you. I count Jerry as one of the nicest persons that I've known. Take comfort in the many fond memories that you two have shared throughout the years and know that we (Al and Rita included) are thinking about and praying for you during this most difficult time. God Bless!

Kathy, Debbie and Jody, Words cannot convey the sorrow both of us feel for your great loss. We had so looked forward to having Jerry come and visit us in Arizona and let us show him our life as it is today, but God must have a new mission for him to call him so young in his life. They say that a true friend is actually "chosen family", and you all are our chosen family. Our prayers are with you all and hope our Creator will give you the strength to get through the coming days and years. All our love Tom and Judy
