I am so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing...it is a shock because it hasn't been long ago that he ask me about a 50 year class reunion in 2014. I have known him all of my life. Our parents were friends at Dyess for many years. My condolences go out to his family. God Bless you.

MY CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO JERRY ASHLEY'S CHILDREN AND FAMILY. I WAS DEEPLY SORRY TO HEAR OF JERRY'S DEATH.
My prayers go out to my dear friend family rest in peace.
I really don't know what to say except that Reggie and me too, will miss all the phone calls. He would call Reggie so much and when he wasn't home, then I would talk with him and he never failed to ask how I was feeling. He has such a big family and he talked of them so much that even the ones I don't know I feel like I do, I guess Reggie probably does know most of the older ones. Jerry I hope you are getting the Rrest you so much deserved. RIP our dear friend, you will be forever missed. Reggie and Carolyn Richmond
