  • My deepest condolences to you Darlene and Aunt Rose, Jerry had a great sense of humour and loved telling jokes, which we will miss. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to say good bye to Jerry in person. All I can say as a family, we will really miss him, but we will never forget him, as we also never forgot Dennis. Jerry may you experience the great love and joy of heaven, as you join Dennis and all our other relatives that have passed away. May you rest in peace Jerry. Thank you Aunt Rose and Darlene, for letting me help you through this sad time by helping you with Jerry's funeral arrangements, and it was an honour to carry Jerry to his final resting place at Assumption Cemetery. May the Lord comfort you with His love, in the days ahead. - Posted by: Vince Kaskiw (Cousin) on: Jul 24, 2014
