Jerry was my beloved ex-mother in law and was the strongest, loving and most determined lady that I have ever met. I have many happy memories of this beautiful woman and I will never forget her. Our family will greatly miss her generosity and unconditional love to all, even the furry friends.
Love Bobbi and Jim Gorman, the Mirto Family and the Campbell Family
