Dear Sharon and Family:

I was so sad to hear of your Mom's passing. You know that she was very special to me. Growing up next to her from age 12 was a pleasure. I still have the same bows that she made for my first Christmas in my new home. That was 13 years ago. She was so gifted with her hands. I also have the first ornament that she gave Stephanie when she was born. It was a teddybear with wings. Jerry's fondest memories was of her great costumes for Halloween and how she loved all children. Before life became so busy raising children and all, I spent many visits with your Mom and Dad. I will always hold those visits close at heart. Please know that we are keeping you all close in prayer.
