I am so thankful to have been blessed with my Uncle Jerry in my life. Always kind, and fun and good hearted. A caring and compassionate go to person in the family.
Years ago he resolved a critical health issue for my son Jordan. The medical world could not help him. Three supplements later, wellness happened. I will always be thankful My heart and prayers go out to my Aunt Bernice , they have the most beautiful love story and my Cousins Kim and Kelly and all the grandchildren May God´s comfort be with you. We know Heaven gained a good soul. Love you Uncle
