My prayers and condolences to all of Jerrys family! Jerry and his brothers were good friends at WHS! I enjoyed the video of Jerrys life and family, it brought back a lot of good memories! It seemed like yesterday that we were running up and down the football field, then life happened! From watching the video, I could tell Jerry had run the last mile home!
Owen, Barbara, I am so sorry, prayers for your family….
