My memories of Jerry and Jeannette will always be among my fondest. Performing in the Rhythm Cloggers with Jerry announcing while Jeannette, Becky, Theresa danced with our group and the rest of the family cheered us all on was a real highlight of life. Jerry and Jeanette will be missed big time.
My thoughts are with you this week. So grateful for the opportunity to meet him. Hold tight to the memories.
Fondly –
Christine
