My mother, Ethel Lewis Walters, was Jerry's first cousin. Her father, Cliff Lewis, and Aunt Emma were brother and sister. We are sorry to hear of Jerry's death. Mama told a story to me at lunch today when she was a little girl Aunt Emma took her to the doctor with a bad earache. She stayed with Aunt Emma for a week so she could get back to the doctor more easily. Jerry was just a baby and Mama said she played with him all week like he was her doll. May God bless you during this time of sorrow.
