I knew Jerry since the beginnig of my life in Westwood, growing up with him and having wonderful childhood memories. As time went by and I moved away, he was in my thoughts and I did get to talk to him in August and I am so glad I did. I know he was a devoted man to his Lord and his church. When my brother Willis visits Ketucky, he will miss seeing Jerry. My thoughts are with his family at this time.

Mrs. Susie and Ms. Ruthey, We were so very privileged to know Bro. Jerry and the family. We are so thankful for all the sacrifices your family made for us. We will never forget the kindness and caring that you showed to us. I know Bro. Jerry will be deeply missed, but I also know he has made his reward and is cheering us on to the reward awaiting us. Only eternity will reveal the impact this great man of God had on others. We love you and we are praying for you.

Thank you, Mrs. Susie, for being such a caring, devoted wife for Brother Jerry. He was very blessed to have you.
Brother Jerry is a great loss to us, but the Lord has a reason for taking him home and we are privileged to have had him in our lives.
Brother Jerry was an inspiration to me in life and in death. He fought a good fight, physically, and more importantly, spiritually. His priority was winning souls to Christ, and you knew that pretty soon upon meeting him.
Only one life
Twill soon be past
Only what's done
For Christ will last.
"For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain".
Brother Jerry was faithful in everything, especially things eternal.
I love you and my prayers and thoughts are continually with you.
Heather C. Bryan.
