Dearest Jerry, I will always love you . I remember the first day we met, You made me laugh , we talked about your job and all the driving you did . Every State and how you drove near the Grand Canyon and wanted to visit but couldn’t. We had plans to go next year. I’m going to miss the quite times on the porch watching the horses graze in the pasture. The cats wanting to sit on your lap. It hurts, but I know your with our Lord and Savior and one day I will join you. I love you . Your wife forever , Julie
Grandad Jerry, we all miss you dearly! ❤️ Your stories about Herb as a little boy and your kindnesses were always blessings to our family. No words can express the depth your loss carries. There is some comfort knowing you’re in a place of peace and health, hopefully riding your motorcycle along the mountain vistas or coastlines and relaxing. You are and always will be so loved!
