    Dear Debbie, I am a friend of your sister, Donna. Donna has been keeping her friends up-to -date on Jerry’s health. I can tell by her conversations about him that she had such a high regard for him. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May he finally Rest In Peace. God Bless you & your family.

    Debbie,
    Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Jerry. We had many great memories from our days at HHS and EIU. I will always remember those crazy things we did together, but the biggest memory I will hold is the great receiver he was for me and the Tigers at HHS in football our Senior year. God’s comfort and peace to you and Jerry’s family.
