You dad sounded like an awesome husband and father. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sad to hear of this news. Please know you are all in my thoughts at this difficult time.
We loved you, Jerry – you will be truly missed! Here on earth, you lived and loved well – we will see you again in our eternal Home! Give Mom and Dad a hug from me, and I’ll give your girls (all three of them!) extra hugs from you!
Dearest Karen, John and Family,
So very sorry to hear about the passing of your father! May you be comforted and blessed with all of the fun times and special memories you shared! My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family! ????????
He looks like the perfect gentleman in his picture (it is no wonder that your family is beautiful!). I’m so sorry for your loss.
What a beautiful photo tribute to Jerry. We hope you feel our love and prayers as you face the days ahead. Jerry was sweet, kind and multi-talented. May his memory sustain you as you make it through each day without him.
