Jeri was a great mom to all of us neighbor kids. We are always welcome to her house to play with Kaley. I enjoyed our conversation with each other. She will be missed.

I didn't have the privilege to meet Jerlyn but I do know her daughter Courtney. I have known Courtney for almost 2 years and she is an amazing person. You can tell she has been raised very well and her work ethnics are great. She is a blessing to have at work and be around every day. She has basically become family to me since I see her all week 7 hours a day. I truly care about you Courtney and wish you the best. I know what happen is hard but do know your beautiful mother is in a better place a place where she is worry free and doesn't have to worry about doctor appointments and taking medications just like my mother in law. Just know Courtney your mom will be with you every step of your life. Just know you and I have the most beautiful angels watching over us. Love you Courtney!

Your Mom is a hero and touched the lives of everyone that knows her. She welcomed us in to her home for Christmas when we were complete strangers and that was one of the best I ever had! Her warm smile and bright eyes will never be forgotten and I hope to raise my children to be as wonderful as hers are. We are so deeply sorry for your families loss.
