So sorry for the loss of your loved one. The family will be in our thoughts & prayers.
He will be missed. I hope he is dancing with the Angels.

My cousin Jerry will be missed, he was probably the closest thing to a brother I had. His family will be in my thoughts during this trying time.
I love you Daddy.
You will forever be in my heart,
And on my mind.
Just as your love keeps Jerry's alive in your memory so God’s love is proved by His memory of him in every detail. If not one sparrow goes forgotten before God or falls to the ground without His notice, certainly he will not forget those whom He promises a resurrection to life on a peaceful new earth.—Matthew 10:29, 30; John 5:28, 29, Psalm 37:11 My condolences to Jerry's family.
