I too,
have lit a candle to honour Jerry's life,
and for Mary who grieves for him.
You are a kind and loving friend
especially at a time when one is needed so dearly
with love . . .

Mary called me last night to let me know that Sunday's paper has a 50% off Joann Fabric sale and was holding on the coupon if I needed it.  That is a good friend to think of me in her time of grief.
 
She is also telling people that Jerry did not want people to spend money on flowers but to make a donation to the Cancer Center (he said maybe they can find a cure) or the Food Bank in his name.  I guess you can tell what kind of people they are.  I have contacted a Greyhound group to make a donation in Jerry's name

Testament, and God will pass judgment on man.

Dear Beryl,
 
You are such a good friend to Mary! What you tell us about her and Jerry just proves their generous, loving spirit. It is a privilege to know them.
 
A candle is burning for them.
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Thank you Edda - I have told Mary about this message board and about all the loving people here who are members.  Everytime I tell her about a post I get a smile from her.  One thing about Jerry that I think you all should know.  He would never cut down a living tree even if he needed fire wood, he would only cut down the dead one or go buy a cord of wood.

i am so sorry that Jerrry died, but he will be in the arms of the Lord now.  i must apolgise for my last post.  i obviously scrolled down the page too quickly and missed some posts  myself.  and my heart went out toMary and you when i reead the thread again.
 
please tell Mary that my love and prayers are with her and you, and that i am thinking of you both.  grief is hard but, try to take it one step at a time really steadily, at yoiur own pace.  and tell Mary for us that we are listenintg to everything you say Beryl and are praying for you both.
 
love and prayers

just off the phone with Mary she sounds okay and told  me she is getting ready to go to Mass at St. Teresa.  I hope this is a good sign that she is able to get out and do things.

Dear Beryl,

You are a special example of what true friendship is all about and Mary has a wonderful gift in
having you as a friend.  Please take care of you.  May your love, care and concern be returned to you a hundredfold and help your own heart hurts to heal.  I am sure your "Blue Eyed Bear" and Jerry are watching over all of you.  Know that you are held in thought and prayer.
