Papa Jerry, I am heartbroken, that, you of all, can do this to me!!!!! Who shall I turn to now, for that word of advice, moral support, and good cheer, that you have been giving me over the years, Bro.?
Over the years, I would in the presence of friends, announce that, should I meet my fate in this country, you would be the one to take my remains home! You promised to, and today, you have broken that solemn promise, eh Papa?
It hurts Bro.!! But as it is said, " Our Father in Heaven loved you more, to have have taken you away from us"! What else can I do, but accept this our mortal fate, however grudgingly? Papa, go steadily and join the heavenly choir!!!
You touched and enriched the lives of so many, with love, affection and kindness!! For that alone, many and I, are exceedingly thankful and proud.
Papa Jerry, let me be brief for once. If I took it for granted and never said "thank you" for a service rendered, Bro., thank you, a million fold! If I never said..... Papa Jerry, you know ours was brotherliness! My problem was yours, and yours, mine!! We went about solving these, the best way we could, and we would always achieve results! Thank you Bro.
Go steadily Bro. I am looking forward to that day we shall meet again and part no more. Until then, I and your many famies, you leave behind, can only harbour and savour sweet memories of our time together here on earth.
In Prayer, I offer, " Hail, holy Queen" for the peaceful repose of your soul and I pray Mother Mary shall accept you as her son, among many!
Gone, but not forgotten Papa. In my heart, you shall remain, my dearest, closest Friend and Brother.
Papa Yeh, Papa Jerry, may your soul rest in eternal peace.
