Mary (& family) Sorry to hear. So many good memories of Jerry from HS days.
So sorry to hear about Jerry. We all had many good times together! My thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏🙏🙏
Mary, I am so sorry of your loss. Jerry was such a sweet guy. Remember him and Lynwood riding the same school bus as I did. During our teen years it seemed like they lived so far away from MHS.
He was one of our best in the class of 1958. It was always great to get together during the reunions. Play a round of golf and talk about way back then.
I am sure all the memories you both created together will help during this hard time. I will be thinking of you both and the memories you have given me.
My condolences to you, Mary, and your family. Sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences to your family. Jerry was a good man. I enjoyed bowling with him.
