I am so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I work for Taps and took him and his wife out several times to meet his kids for lunch. My heart goes out to his loving family and his wife that took her vows til death do us part as sincere as any person could. I would see her every day I was at Senior care devotedly by his side and it truly touched my heart. She never ever complained, just loved him daily. He will be waiting for you to join him, you have definitely earned your wings.
