So sorry to hear about the passing of Jerry. We worked together for a few years at Aetna, sat right next to each other. He was so sweet, kind and had the best sense of humor. Man he made that job bearable. We still kept in touch from time to time on Facebook. Great person! My condolences to all who loved him.
Isa.41:10 So do not fear for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
