I am very sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. I did not know that he had been sick, but i had missed seeing him out in the yard and garden recently. Truly wondered about him since I normally saw him every day or so. He was always so friendly and had such a nice smile. I shall miss his friendly hello when passing by. My heartfelt condolences to all of you.
Beverly: My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss. You have been thru so much. May the Lord give you the strength you need to bring you thru.
Beverly, I am so sorry to hear of Jerrys passing. My thoughts go out to you and all of your family. Working with both of you at Norton, we all were in our own little family for so many years, and you both were great to work with. May the Lord be with you and all your family. I will keep you in my prayers.
