Our thoughts and prayers are lifted for Jerry's family. My son (Benton) and I only recently meet Jerry while visiting Hartland Place and delivering a "mail call" envelope full of cards and letters honoring our veterans on Veterans Day. My son really enjoyed visiting with Jerry the few times we stopped in to chat. They would laugh and smile together, it was so touching to see Jerry and Benton enjoy their time together. We are sad that our time with Jerry was so short, he was a blessing to us. We will miss him. May the good Lord bring peace and comfort to your family at your time of loss.
