Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. I heard about the passing of your husband from my niece Kim. I don't know if you know me. I am one of Jerry's many nieces, Charlene, daughter of his brother Charles. I last saw Uncle Jerry at my sister, Kathy's funeral in 2013. Billy Graham said , "No matter how prepared you think you are for the death of a loved one, it still comes as a shock and it still hurts very deeply." May God bless and comfort you and your family during this difficult period. Please accept my sincere condolences.

To the Hunt family, please accept sincere condolences to all during this time of sadness. Death is certainly an enemy that take those we love. Jesus Christ promised to return our deceased loved ones back to a peaceful earth with no more death or suffering not even a pain to hinder the joy of life. Please read from your Bible these comforting promises: Revelation 21:3,4; John 5:28 & 29; Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:29. I have found much comfort and have been strengthened when under going grief, from the Bible's hope. May it be of comfort to you all.
