I’m so saddened by the loss of my Uncle Jerry. I’m in complete disbelief honestly. I loved spending time talking with him when I was growing up. I was so very happy for him when he met Annabelle. My Uncle Jerry finally found his soul mate! Annabelle, if there’s anything my husband and I can ever do for you, please let us know. I mean this sincerely. We love you and you know we loved Jerry very much. My biggest regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time with you all, but I know everyone leads such busy lives. We’re just a phone call away, so please remember that. Lots of love & prayers. ❤️🙏
