Kara, Kylie and Levi,
Sorry about your Dad passing away. Hope you all had a great relationship before his death at his home. One of the best times of my life was with Jerry and Jeri and Steve and I at the state fair. Many years ago.

To Dee and your family, please know that during this sorrowful time our wish for you is peace and strength. Knowing that Jerry was a NYY fan, imagine the great Yankees legends he will meet: Yogi Berra, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, and of course, Roger Maris.

Kara, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My heart is very heavy for you, I know how close you were to him. I spent many nights at your house in school and have a lot of great memories of BIG Jerry. I remember he use to work the night shift and we couldn't make any noise until he woke up at 3. He was a great dad and I'm sure he was a great grandpa too. Lots of love and prayers for you all during this time.
