My Deepest Sympathies on the loss of my "online sister" Jerri.
We met 13 years ago and through it all we exchanged stories of our lives with each other if it be good news, sad news, pictures of our loved ones, our thoughts or wishes for each other. Constantly emailing each other and keeping in touch with our day to day lives or sending a sympathy card on a recent loss was Jerri...she knew what a simple card or an email with a short comment would do to lift the spirt of a friend. I am thankful to have been given the honor, by GOD,
of knowing such a wonderful person. She will always have a special place in my heart and I will miss her dearly when I open my emails to find that she is no longer there.
Thank you Jerri for being my friend.
I love you, GOD keep and BLESS you and finally...rest in peace with no more pain in the arms of JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD in HEAVEN.

your best online friend,
roh28
