Most of you have already received word of Jerry's passing. There simply are no words to express my love, gratitude, and blessings of such a kind, devoted, humble, intelligent, patient, loving, one in a million husband and soulmate. Jerry walked the walk and touched so many with his gentle, honest, and friendly spirit. Thank each of you who prayed him through this battle with brain cancer. There is a God!!!! Jerry is Home, in a healthy body, celebrating with family and friends. Love the people that God gives you, cause one day, He'll want um back.
