Had no idea Jerry was sick. Talked about Iowa and his family back in July ! I knew Jerry when I was a kid in the 60s & 70s; he was, also, a friend of my older sibling. RIP, Jerry !

Jerry's family...I have been a neighbor of Jerry's for about 11 years now. Though we had our "neighbor issues" once in awhile, we also spent time just sitting outside together just chatting about life and this crazy world. Please accept my condolences as you go through this painful journey of letting go. Hard as it may be for all left behind, for HIM it is no more pain, worries, doctors. You will all be in my prayers and thoughts. God bless.
