Dear Bruzek family,

Our hearts are breaking to hear of your sudden loss. As friends of Jerry (Jr) we were lucky enough to meet Mrs. Bruzek a few times while playing football in the yard or listening to Jerry on the guitar. Our thoughts go out to you all, and hope that your hearts are filled with happy and peaceful memories of your loved one.



All our love,

Danyl Zamber and Mark Vavreck
