Words can not describe my feelings of losing you now. You have always been my friend, my sister....my rock. All I know now is that you are no longer hurting, emotionally and physically. May you finally find your true peace and comfort in God's arms. See you soon. I love you. Sis

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Jerelyn's family. We grew up as children on 28th avenue and remained friends for many years. we used to always walk on stilts and just had loads of fun. As time went on we lost contact with each other therefore, I did not get to meet her children whom my heart goes out to. Losing a loved one at such a young age is very devastating but she is now in a better place and leave behind beautiful memories for all to remember. I will cherish the many pictures I have of us together. Peace be with you.

Jerelyn was my babysitter when I was a child. I grew up with the Nudi family and have stayed in touch and friends throughout the years. My heart hurts to think of Jerelyn gone from this earth, but I know that she is now in a better place.

Jerelyn was a beautiful woman who was once full of life. She adored her children and grandchildren and always wanted to give more of herself. Due to circumstances she could not control she was unable to give more than she did. In many ways Jerelyn was cheated out of everlasting love and happiness and I pray she will now finally find peace. Our family has lost a loving caring person and she will be missed.Rest in Peace Jerelyn. Pat Weekly McKay (Cousin)

I am sending my heartfelt condolences to the family of Jerelyn. We knew each other as children, but have lost touch over the years. Jerelyn's mother, Jerry, was my moms friend, and in her wedding many years ago. I remember Jerelyn well, and have fond memories of spending time together as children. She was always so kind and sweet. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time. Linda (Boswell) Treasure
