Shane and family,
I was very sorry to hear about Jerry's passing, although I only had the pleasure of meeting him once, Shane spoke very highly of him. Shane, know that your dad loved you, and had many reasons to be very proud of you. Remember all the great times you had with him. Thanks for calling the other day, and call anytime you need to.
