Dear friends, I have such wonderful memories of times spent with your family as a young child and all the way into college years. We shared many, many good times and lots of laughter (remember the Gooney Birds…the burned bbq chicken…holiday meals with a house FULL of people??). I feel so blessed that Dave and I were able to see Jerry just two short weeks ago! I will remember him fondly.
Love and deepest sympathy to the whole gang!
Mary and Dave Young
