Jerry was a wonderful person and good worker. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family in the difficult time.
Jerry was a valued colleague and a treasured friend. There was nothing that would break or stop working in my home that he could not tell me exactly how to fix it. He will truly be missed by all who knew him.
Mrs. Grigsby, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so happy I was able to be his home health nurse and take care of him for a little while. He always brightened my day with his sense of humor. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. Tonya Simmons, CCYoung Home Health
