Hopes and Dreams: To love and be loved. To help and not hinder. Though I was never wealthy nor wise, or acquired any fame, I had fun while trying, you should do the same.
Personal Note: To friends and family, farewell for now, I’ll see you when I wake. When once again in God’s great plan we rise to celebrate.
One should never pass up the chance to have the final word. Have A Happy Day, Jerry
Special thanks to Encompass Hospice for their care to Jerry.
