I miss you Jerry. I promised to take care of your cats;Toby and Sam. They both are together in a good home.
Keith and I will miss Jerry so much. He was a wonderful husband and best friend to my mother Jane. They loved each other so much and had a great life together.
My cousin, my buddy, my accomplice, my mentor, my friend of 72 years, you are missed already, but you are back with your beloved Jane, and that makes it almost OK that you left. So many will miss your laughter, your gentle spirit, and your ability to find humor in just about anything. Rest in Peace, “Jard”. You were a powerful influence on my life, and for that I will always be grateful.
