For Brad (Jerri's husband)

Irene,

I do remember hearing about your RFA. Jerri spoke of you kindly. Services were today, with >500 in attendance. The outpouring of love was unbelievable. Jerri will be missed, but there is still a lot of work for you girls to do. Keep up the good fight, let nothing get you down. There is nothing that I can say or do to cure you, but I can give you words of encouragement. Jerri's favorite verses this past few months are on a chalk board in our kitchen:

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:11-12).

Never give up, Jerri fought to the end.

-Brad
