Life would be lonely without friends

I am very sad today just thinking about the loss of such a great friend.  I remember some of the funny things that Jerry use to do together.  One of which we did to our other great friends, Tom and Louise Lowrie.  I remember some of the funny things that Jerry use to say.   Especially to our youngers son, Keith.  We share our lives with many friends.  Jerry was one of those friends and he will forever be missed.  I hope as you read this, you will enjoy the song that I have added by Bill Gaither called "Old Friends".

Thankful for friends/family

Tom Lowrie,  (Linda our daughter) downloaded your pictures you sent of our
amazing reunion trip  in Branson, Missouri approx. 20 years ago.  Wonder
if any of our Shaw Airforce Buddies have any pictures of our previous
Gatlinberg, Tennesee reunion that we all attended and had such a great time.

Jerry's years were cut short, but have to say he had great friends and 
great memories.  Without there friendship and prayers, along with all
his other great friends outside of Military life held us up in prayer through
the many back operations/melanoma cancer.  He/we were truly blessed.
Have to mention our children, Steve and Linda and families who have
stood with us through the Good and the Bad.  Love them so much!

We Remember

January 19, 2014

Jerry and Vonnell came into our lives just as Louise and I began our lives together in Sumter, SC.  Jerry and James Reed did their level best to make sure we were continuously "harassed" as newly weds.  I especially remember one of those nights when we turned in early.  Jerry and James both knew what that meant so in order to break up a perfectly good night they began to throw potatoes at the house.  Thump, thump, giggle, giggle.  They were successful in that effort and many others in our 2 years in Sumter.

Those were special years for us.  So much so that we were able to come together on two future occasions to enjoy a reunion.  It was like the years between the last time we saw Jerry and Vonnell just didn't exist.  Our times together were very special - not because where we were but who we were with. 

The picture enclosed is of our trip to Branson, MO in 2003 (I think).  It brings back many memories of a happy time.  That's how Louise and I want to remember things until we see Jerry again.

God bless Vonnell and may God keep her in a special place.

Love, Tom & Louise

Special Friends

January 6, 2014

Vince and I feel so blessed by our friendship with Jerry and Vonnell.  Nina has know Jerry for many years, has lots of stories about when they were in grade school.   Jerry was her family paper boy and used to try hit her with the paper if she was in the front yard.  

Nina and I will miss him, we will see him again someday in heaven.

Our love and prayers goes out to Vonnell and her family.

Love you Vonnell,
Nina and Vince

I will always thank God for allowing Jerry and Vonnell to become such a great part of mine and Janie's life.  I regret  that we did not live closer so that we could spend more time together.  I will always cherish the great times that we had together in Sumter.

My heart is heavy because of the loss of such a great friend.

My prayer now is that God will confort the hearts of Vonnell, Steve, and Linda and their families.


We will see Jerry again.
