Ann l am so sorry hi hear of Jerry’s passing. He was a good man who loved you and his family dearly. I know he will be sorely missed. God Bless
I am so sorry to hear about Jerry’s passing. He was a wonderful man and wonderful boss. A man strong in his faith and his love for God and his family. My goodness, he will be missed by many.
I am so sorry, Ann, that your life partner has passed into his forever home. Most certainly he is with God and the many saints. I cannot tell you how much you have meant to our family over the many years! Your kindness and graciousness drew us all to you. You loved with your whole heart and we’ll love you forever. I just put on the necklace, the other day, you gave me when I graduated high school. It’s thought of with much fondness. God bless you, Ann, and the family.
Ann, I am so sorry to take so long to respond ! I am so sorry for your great loss! I really did not know you had moved, but have not seen you for quite some time…you are in my prayers !!
