We have lost a precious lady. Jerry worked as a transcriptionist for Brown & Associates Medical Labs for many years and continued to help us prepare meeting minutes even after her retirement. She was the last person I ever saw using the shorthand system which she was proficient in. She was one special lady loved by all. Deepest sympathy to her family and friends!
