Dear Beverly and other AL Family of my Brother Jerry. My heart too is broken with the passing of our loved one Jerry. I was crushed that while Jerry's memorial service, at 10A was taking place, I was aboard a flight, which landed in AL at 1:20P, crying and praying for all of you. My best friend ever, Linda MacAuslan and I went right from the airport, via Uber, to Brother Jerry's gravesite. We had a complete service, even with singing When We See Christ, accompanied by UTube, just the two of us. When Brother Jerry came to my home, we ALWAYS had to go to M&M Red Hots, in Elmira, NY. Jerry said he wished he could have those delicious Red Hots shipped to AL - Brother Jerry loved those. That will be a memorial stop for Brother Jerry when I go there. So many memories. Knowing our loved one Jerry is no longer among us, he will always be in our hearts, deeply missed, just knowing he's not here, that empty place, but rejoicing we know Jerry is in heaven. May our precious Lord comfort you as only He can during this very sad time. Thank you for loving my Brother Jerry all these years. With my deepest Sympathy and Love, Sister Melba
