Lynn, My deepest condolences to you. I missed talking to you at the celebration of Jerry's life on Friday evening. I was a grade school classmate and neighbor. We met briefly at the 50th. reunion. I will always have fond memories of Jerry and his quiet sense of humor. Always gave us all a good laugh. God bless, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Jerry Emond's Family,

I was a classmate of Jerry's from St. Catherine of Siena in Oak Park. I just want to send my condolences and let you know that I have many wonderful, happy and funny memories hanging around with Jerry and my buddies at Madison and Austin. We enjoyed many years together as classmates, including our recent meetings/lunches around the St. Cate's reunions.

Jerry was a wonderful and funny guy who, I'm sure, will be missed by all his family and friends.

God bless you, Jerry -- you're up there making them laugh now

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jerry's family, who will miss you so much!

Although I haven't seen my uncle Jerry in a very long time I loved him very much. He was my godfather and I have many special memories of him when I was a little girl. My heart goes out to his wife and children and all of the family..
