Cindy and Aunt Donna, I am so sorry to read of Jerry's passing. From Vicki, to Aunt Lynn and Aunt Phyl, you've always made me feel like part of your family. Now heaven is a better place today because Jerry can join his sisters and brothers and share all the stories that made us all laugh.

I first met Jerry and his wife Donna at the Church of the Nazarene. He was always friendly, smiling and joking with everyone. He will definitely be missed. Jerry loved his Lord, his family and his church family and friends. He was special.
“Thank you so much for taking care of the family during this difficult time. You did a super job. May God bless you.”
