I love you Jerry. We shared a special bond that no one will ever break, not even in death. You were always there for Erin Rose and I going back to the days when she was in my belly. You were there for us when John passed away. Without you I wouldn't have made it through. Erin Rose loved you so much...she was so happy when she found out you were coming to her graduation. You were so special to her, so special to us. We love you and miss you. It hasn't truly hit me yet, it will when i go to call you just to say "HONEY!! I LOVE YOU!!!" and your not there...or when I want to stop and see you for no other reason but to say hi and I love you and get a hug. When the rest of the world was wrong and and I was all alone or I was missing John or even when everything was right-I always had you. I could always count on that. And now your gone. I am going to miss you so much. Our little jokes, things that we didn't even need words for. We could just look at each other and we knew...we understood. All the good times we had with John...all you did to help me with him when he was sick and after he passed....you were there. You were the one who stuck by me. You were the one who picked me up and dusted me off and said come on...you have to eat, you have to keep your strength up to be there for Erin. All those nights you were up with me at 2 am because Erin was up and crying because she was sick. You didn't complain...you helped take care of her, hold her, rock her back to sleep. So many good memories...so many good times together...so much love. I know you are still with us. Now both you and John are our guardian angels, I know you both are looking down on us. Every time I talked to you at the end we would say I love you and you always told me to tell Erin you loved her. And I always did. We are going to miss you so much. We love you.
