    Dear Fallie, June, Glen and Reggie,
    We are lost for words……Jerry will be sorely missed. We are so thankful we were able to see Jerry last summer. I know it was hard for him to see us without dad by our sides, but I know Jerry was please when Mike and I spread dad’s ashes at the site Jerry and dad fished. We will be sad when we are up on the hill, knowing Jerry is no longer at the bottom of the hill, but we will be smiling sitting on the bench, looking out at the ocean, knowing Jerry and dad are back fishing again and back to their little antics. Fallie, mom is very sad and is thinking dearly of you. Our deepest sympathies, Dot, Mike, Diane and Sean
