Mary Lynn and family, EJ and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry will always hold a dear, special place in my heart. Back in 1997, I got a call from Jerry out of the blue asking, "What hospital is your dad in?" Jerry had driven his wife, sister, and brother-in-law over 2000 miles to Phoenix, Arizona, to surprise my dad, his brother, who had just had surgery for cancer. Years later, when Dad was in his last days, Jerry and Mary just showed up one afternoon. Mary cut Dad's hair; Jerry built a ramp. No one asked him. He just did it. That's what Jerry did. He showed up and did the job. He helped out because that's what he thought he should do. God has a special place in heaven for Jerry. He's just showed up and is ready to work.
