Though separated by time and distance I have never forgotten any of my cousins...especially Jerry as he had such a love for music like I do. I remember hearing him play and sing. I especially treasure the memory of hearing a tape of Jerry and Uncle Richard; these memories stay with me, though family seems to dwindle, he will forever stay in my thoughts and heart.
