I am so very sorry to hear of Uncle Jerry’s passing away.
There has been a vast empty space in my heart each day.
He was a great person and uncle, one of the best.
His being gone is difficult for me right now to digest.
But, if he were here right now, he would say,
“Fill your heart up with His loving care,” and “We’ll be seeing ya real soon, okay?”
We will all keep the good memories, love and laughter, and we know Uncle Jerry is in God’s loving hands and eternal care.
My thoughts and prayers are and will always be with Aunt Judy, Todd, Tracy and Terene and their families and the rest of Uncle Jerry’s family and friends.
