Hello Mrs. Angela and family. We are so sorry for the loss of your husband, father, grandfather and friend. We know how much you loved him, but most of all he knew how much you all loved him. We will continue to pray for you and we hope that you are comforted by the fond memories you have. Numbers 6:24-26.
I'm so sorry sweetie. You're in my prayers. May God be with you and your family during this time of grief. Sometimes we don't understand why, but I've always thought that when we lose a loved one that God needed another angel. Love you!
Jerry's Father, Bing was great friends with my father going back to their youth in Lanett, AL. My family visited often with the Smith family and I became great friends with Jerry as we shared the love of sports together. He was a huge Alabama fan and I was an Auburn guy. I will always remember those visits filled with sports on TV, sandlot football and baseball, trading cards and a lot of sports games. Those were some of the best memories of my life! Prayers of comfort go to his sister, Patty, his wife, Angela and Jerry's boys and their families. (Richard Forrester)
