Dear Carol,

We were shocked to learn of Jerry's passing after seeing you both last Friday evening. We are very sorry for your loss. Jerry was a great guy and we had a lot of laughs while doing business with him when we owned The Village Store.
Sincerely,
Ed and Nicky Pinkham

Uncle Jerry is certainly in good company with Nana and Papa, but how I wish he could have waited longer to stay here with us and especially you, Aunt Carol. I will continue to cherish the fun times we had. Remembering his wit always makes me smile. I love you Aunt Carol and I'm so deeply sorry. Love, Julie
