Lois and family, I was saddened to learn of Jerry’s passing. When I talked with him last month he filled me in a bit on his medical issues. I kiddingly told him he was very lucky to have you and he very seriously told me that he was indeed very, very fortunate. Now that his struggles are over, remember all the good things and let that carry you through the sadness. He will be missed. Donna Mort
