"...to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?" Bev my heart aches at the loss of my friend.
— Earle Miller

Dear Bev, I am praying for you and asking God to fill your heart with His peace and hope as you walk through this very, very difficult time. Jerry was (is) a wonderful man and I know he received a great welcome into God''s Heavenly Kingdom because of his belief in Jesus Christ and his heart to serve the Lord and to help people in need. He was (is) a one of a kind person and will be missed by all. He certainly left his mark on my life and many other people, including the many needy children he helped on the mission field over the years. God bless you, your family, and Jerry''s many friends. He will be missed!
