Jerrie was technically my great-aunt, but to me she was simply "Aunt Jerrie". Either way, it's fair to say she was always one of my favorite relatives for as far back as I can remember. She was intelligent, articulate, and sharp as a tack. I haven't kept in touch with her as well as I should have since moving to the Pacific Northwest 13 years ago, but I'll definitely miss her. I love you, Aunt Jerrie! Greg Van Patten
