Jerry, you were the Love of my sister’s life and her soul mate. The two of you came together and blended 2 families. There were rough patches as any life has, but the Love you & Kim had for everyone overcame any obstacle in your path. You have 4 beautiful children however, you were a father to so many. Your Love was unconditional. You will forever be in my heart ‘Old Man’. We may not have been siblings by blood but you were and always will be my brother.
Love ya,
Sis

Hey Kim and family. I too wish I could be there for you, but I am working. Kim if you ever want to get together just give me a call or message me. Know that Jerry is in a better and happy place that was waiting for him. Now he won’t be suffering anymore and he will be watching over all of us. Your friend from many years ago, Jackie L. Fausnacht and family
What can I say, to you my Zebra twin? Jerry – you and your amazing devoted wife selflessly saved my life nearly six years to the date of your earthly departure. I loved you both from the moment we fatefully met. I say both, because, to me, you are one, although two people – one love. Such devotion I’ve only seen in one other couple – my mom and her late husband. Every time I thought of my own ‘battles’ which are nothing compared to yours – or check cancer on numerous medical forms, I was reminded to pray for you. I admire how strong, dignified and graceful you faced your challenges with a faith, stamina and humility very few posses, not to mention, your genteel humor. When others judged me, you unconditionally loved me. You’re one of the most loving men I’ve ever met. I shall miss you dearly and will continue to pray for your soulmate. I praise God that you’re in a better place and no longer suffer, yet I languish over our loss. May you joyfully dance in Heaven and find peace in our Savior’s arms.
You are LOVED ?
