Sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the Bible at Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Marge,
I am so sorry to hear about Jerald's passing. I am in Canada and I am sorry I won't be there to pay my respects. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to know Jerald and am so grateful you chose Parkridge to be his second family! He was a wonderful man and I will miss his smile and "how are ya Missy" that he always greeted me with. My heart is with you and I will keep you in my prayers!! Please take care of yourself Marge
