    Linda and family, So sorry to hear about Jerry...we have been friends a long time, graduated high school together, rode the same school bus (even sat together), worked in tobacco with him and his family. Loved to hear him sing and imitate Hank Williams and Elvis!! Many good memories of times gone by... He has been through a lot over the years, I pray now he is at peace. Prayers for all of you. I know you will miss him, he was always a good guy. Remember the good times, no one can take those times away from you. We were closer when we were young, but I still loved him.
