What a handsome man my dad was. I never thought I could miss u as much as I do, dadWe were always so much alike. I have so many memories of u that will be with me forever. Me, mom, slicky and Droop miss u more than u will ever know. God bless u, Dad. U r in our hearts forever. As I approach my 60th bday as ur oldest daughter, I wish u were here with me. I'm sure u r tho. I know u would always be there with us. Don't even think God could stop that. U love us too much. I love u, Dad. I feel u everyday. I feel comfort in that. As Diane would say. We will all c u again in that Water Street home in Heaven. Rest in peace, Pop.
Shirley, Sheri, Lori, and Diane so sorry to hear about Jerry. I have many memories of the fun time we had years ago. I know this is a very Difficult time for you may you have peace knowing he is now in God's hands. God bless
We enjoyed having Jerry and Shirley as our neighbors on Woodale so much! Jerry was the original neighborhood watch person-nothing got by him. I will never forget coming home from work one morning and finding my goose statue tied to my front rail with a note: "keep your duck in your yard-I am tired of it sh***ting in mine". I don't know who was worse-Jerry or Dave. I am sending prayers to your family. I guess St. Peter can deal with Jerry and Dave cutting up now!
Shirley & Family, please accept my sincerely sympathy. I treasure the memories from our days at MVSS. May God comfort you. Sally Himstedt Kelly
