To Jerri Dear Sons-Always know what a very generous,true and loyal friend your Mother was to me. She proved that real wealth was your Family and Friends. I shared more laughs with your Mother than anyone else in my life. Her death leaves me with the opportunity to care on her values. The world has lost a great person.

Jerri, my sister,
I didn't call as much as I should have but I know you knew how very much I loved you and I knew you loved me. I will miss you dear Sis, you have left a void in our lives, but no one will ever forget the "Nutty" Hungerford girls! I pray you are dancing the Charleston on the tables with Joe & Mom now. Rest in peace.
