Dear Tina ,Jerry and Families, I was so, so, sorry to hear about JJ from my mom. She called and let me know that JJ had passed away. Tim,Amanda and I live in Iowa for the past 7 years and don't get a chance to come to town as often as we would like. We haven't been in touch with each other in a long time, but I will always cherish the time we were roommates and friends together. It's sad how the bad things that happen in our life is what brings us together again. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know?

I'm still so sorry to hear of your loss..JJ was a friend of my son's, Brian M. Wright who had preceded him in the New Life on March 12, 2008.

I'm sure he was waiting for him at the gate, just as I'd told him to wait for me!

So sorry Jerry about your son,
