To Maureen, Stephanie, Bryan, Tommy, Jessie and Carol, DeeDee, Robin and family. Jerry was a force of nature unto himself. In his ambition and drive to love and provide for his family, he moved mountains, especially at the end, by putting his life force into his work and poured his fading energy into whatever was necessary to prove his love and dedication. That energy will never dissipate, you will feel it every day in ways you’d never imagine. I believe he will always be with us in our hearts and memories; his essence and fighting spirit remains and he will continue to guide you through the best and the most difficult of life’s challenges. See you around, Jerry! Blessed wishes to all of you.
I found this excerpt today, and it’s perfect, so I thought I’d share. Loss is the hardest thing, but it’s also the teacher that’s the most difficult to ignore. Grief can destroy you-or focus you. You can decide a relationship was all for nothing if it had to end in death, and you alone. Or you can realize that every moment of it had more meaning than you dared to recognize at the time, so much meaning it scared you, so you just lived, just took for granted the love and laughter of each day, and didn’t allow yourself to consider the sacredness of it. But when it’s over and you’re alone, you begin to see it wasn’t just a movie and dinner together, not just watching sunsets together, not just scrubbing floor or washing dishes or cooking together, or worrying over a high electric bill. It was everything; it was the WHY of life, every event and precious moment of it. The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deepest beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can’t get off your knees for a long time, you’re driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by the gratitude for what preceded the loss. And the ache is always there, but one day not the emptiness, because to nurture the emptiness, to take solace in it, is to disrespect the gift of life. Dean Koontz – Odd Hour
My prayers are with you during this time of loss.
When Jerry was born he was given two things, a heart that has roots and a soul that has wings. Anyone who knew Jerry never really did know where those wings would take him, high or low, close or far. But, those whom loved him, always knew where those roots were buried,and how deep they went. He loved his family and friends ( I lovingly feel as if I fell into both of those catagories ) with all he had and Wise Avenue will never be quite the same. Jerry, you promised to haunt me, I’M WAITING ! And love to all who loved you. Kathy

Jerry, My dear friend, everyone knows a spoonful of sugar is the only cure for what ails me, so I know you don’t want me to gain any more weight. Never stop watching over us, and thank you for my hiccups. Your other sister, Kathy
Jerry and I grew up together and at one point in life were like brothers, and I loved him like a brother. Over the years we grew somewhat apart but I tried to stay in contact with him as much as I could. You don’t know how much I wanted to be there for Maureen and how much it hurt me I couldn’t. Tic will aways be in my memories. I love you all.

The last time Fran and I saw Jerry was at the St. James school picnic 2 years ago where he seemed to be having a good time. Whenever I saw Jerry he was having a good time. I will remember him just that way.
