Terri and Mrs. Eury:
I cannot begin to imagine your pain and grief now. When Mom and Dad told me, I was quickly thrown back to many great memories with your Dad, and each of you, basketball, the lake, basketball, and some more basketball. I apologize for being unable to attend visitation or the funeral, but please know that you all are in my thought and prayers.
By the God’s Grace,
Brooke
.Susie, Teri, I just cant find the words to express how I feel right now. We didn’t see Jerry as often as we would like to, but we will always remember that sweet smile he had and the times we ‘cut up’ with him. Just remember that God is walking beside you. He will take care of you and hold you up. Locke and I want to extend our deepest condolences to you, terri, and your entire family. Susie, you know I will never forget you–after knowing you for 57 yrs. You dont forget friends like that. I feel like I am part of your family. So does Richard and so did David. Again our deepest condolences. Locke and I will be praying for all of you. And remember God is with you and if you need us for ANYTHING, please call us. Dont lose contact. May God Bless and keep you. Your loving friends, Nancy Painter Hyatt and Locke Hyatt ASHEVILLE, N.C.
Dear Susan and Teri, Please accept my deepest sympathy. I never got to meet you but lived across the street from Jerry and his family in Miami. I have many happy memories from time spent with Jerry and Jim. A friend who lives in NC called me tonight to tell me of your loss. I know he was very proud of his family and loved you both very much. Please share my condolences with Helen and Jim. God bless and keep you both. Jean Hood Cyra

Dear Susan & Terri,
I was shocked this Tuesday morning when I read Sunday’s paper. A little late,I know. As I sit here trying to think of words to express myself, I just can’t seem to find. I just talked to Jerry back on the 8th of this month as well as you Susan. I will truly miss my conversations with Jerry as I enjoyed them immensely. He always had something to tell me about one of his cars as well as a good laugh. John will continue to drive our business van, that Jerry found for us a year ago. Susan and Terri you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Keep your memories close to your heart and you will make it through this hard time.
Lovingly,
John & Sue Gull
