Phyillis,
I just saw this obituary for Jerry. I did not get this information about his passing until today January 4, 2024. I saw his picture and name and my heart just seemed to hurt. I am so sorry. I will always remember how nice he was. My prayers are with you because you are facing a whole lot of “ first times without him”. I am sure that all the holidays were different as you had that void left by him not being there. God promises that he will never leave or forsake you. Love sent your way.
