Jerry will definitely be missed. He was a kind and extremely thoughtful man. I have good memories of Jerry. One time he was visiting in Houston after just coming in from his visit in Austin. As soon as he got hear he just wanted to go home he was adamant on leaving at this certain time on a bus to get to Dallas where he ended up stranded and had to be rescued. The time we went to Thanksgiving in Texarkana. Sharon told us about a Zebra and Camel up the road so Jerry and I ventured out to see the animals. Jerry always spoke lovingly about his grandchildren. He loved them all so very much. Prayers to Paige and her family now and in the months ahead. All my love, Patti Browning
