Marietta,I was so sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. Whenever I saw the two of you, you were both so happy and I hope you find solace in your memories. The 16th was Colleen's birthday, so I'd like to think Jerry got there just in time for the party. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.Cheryl Deininger
