Sherry, I have no idea exactly how much we've been through over the years but this is one I will never forget. My heart breaks for your loss. You & Jay married about the same time as Jerry & I. We both found the love of our lives at that time. I know how much you adored him & he you. That special look in your eyes when talking about Jay said it all.
I love you very much & pray in time you will have only special memories and your heart will not be breaking. You have so many people who love you & that you've been there for. Now, it's our turn to be there for you. ? You can call in me no matter what the hour, if only to have me listen. Praying for you & Jay too.
