Dearest God,

You took our dear Jerry home.  He died in the hospital last night.  While we grieve here, I believe there is great celebration in heaven.

Truly Jerry was one of your own.  He loved you so much.  His ways, his will were bent toward you.  He was ready for eternity.  At the same time he lived a life of faith, service, compassion, love and grace.  While we may not have agreed totally on politics or theological slants, nevertheless, we had a joyous walk of faith together.  All who loved him did the same.

When Beryl asked me to say a few words at his memorial service next week, I couldn't believe it.  I was so touched and blessed.  Still am.

Thank you,
Wondrous God,
for Jerry,
his life,
his love,
his devotion,
his faith
and his kindness.
Thank you
for making
our paths intersect.
Thank you
for blessing
all our lives.

Love, Andrea
