Dear Reta, I’m so very sorry for your great loss! I know there are no words that can be spoken that will ease the pain of such a great loss. Please know I’ve kept you and your family in my prayers. I have so many wonderful memories of Jerry and all our trips. We all had such a great time and created so many precious memories. All my family are heart broken as well. Adrain and Adam will never forget Jerry and we all remember the wonderful person he is. The Angels in Heaven are surely celebrating as Jerry received his wings!! I can see his sweet smile! Love and prayers to you my sweet and precious friend!!

Reta and family, we are so sorry about Jerry and that we couldn't be there. May the Lord bless and comfort you and yours during this time. We love you all! Darenda and Johnnie Musick

Reta, I am very sorry to hear about Jerry. He was a good one. Always good to work with and supportive of me. May God bless you and your family and provide you with the peace and strength needed during this time. OLH

I'm sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. When I first moved to Kingsport with my family in 1996, he was one of the people who welcomed me at work and was always willing to help me learn my way around. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was a wonderful person. I always enjoyed​ talking and being with him. The family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Inez Dingus

Reta, and all the family. I am so sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. Please know that we have been praying for you all and keeping you all in our thoughts. I hate not being there with you all tonight. We love you all and if you need us please just let us know. Love, Howard, Peggy,Charlotte and Sonny

Mrs. Reta and Holly- I am truly sorry about the passing of your husband and father. He was one of a kind, and will be missed by many. I love you all dearly and if I can do anything at all, please let me know. Prayers for the family. Much love and prayers...Kim Falin and family

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jerry in Eastman University and he was always a joy to be around. We loved to talk about camping and the fun times camping offered with our families. He was a wonderful person and he will be missed. My prayers are with you and your family.

Just want you guys to know what a privilege it was to have known Jerry ! We shared many laughs and camping stories together. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Reta, it has been a long time since I saw you. We saw the obituary for your husband in the paper. We are praying that God will comfort you and your family and give you peace during this time.

Reta, I am so very sorry for your loss. God has a plan for each of us, so please be joyful because Jerry is no longer in pain and misery. I never met him but he sounds like a wonderful person volunteering and giving of himself to so many organizations and others. Remember all the happy times you spent with him and all your family. I understand so very much how you feel because I lost my Casey about a year and a half ago. But he had been saved and I know that you and I will be very glad to see Jerry and Casey in Heaven one of these days. Our lives are not over and we need to share the talents we have, your beautiful music at church and caring for our loving families. Till then live the rest of your life beautifully as I feel that Jerry would want you to. Sincerely, Brenda Cox
