Cathy and family, may you find comfort in knowing that earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. Weeping may endure for the night but JOY will come in the morning. There is peace in knowing that Jerry is resting in the arms of Jesus.

Dear family and friends of Jerry Guerry,

Know that I join you this morning to celebrate Jerry's life and mourn his passing. To his siblings, my cousins, I extend special sympathy. With Jerry as the oldest sibling in Uncle Everett and Aunt Frances' family, I can well imagine that it's hard to think of being in a "world without Jerry." I hope that memories will bring comfort and the sense that his spirit is still present.

Love to you all,
Judy
