To Mrs. Jerred and family,
It is with a sad heart that I share my thoughts with all of you. I remember when Mr. Jerred would pick up Jessica from my first grade classroom at Phillip Street School. She was so happy to see her Dad. He was a wonderful Dad always thinking of his family. May he Rest In Peace with Our Lord and Savior in Heaven.
In Sympathy,
Rosemary Occhino- Pilawa
Jessica, we are holding you and your family close during this tremendous loss. We are thinking of you and your entire family in the coming days. May you find peace and comfort in the love you shared and precious memories made.
My Dear Sweet Family, Cindi thank you for loving the Keystone of the Jerred family. I remember the day Dad and I met you at Chimney Mt. We knew immediately that God sent the perfect person for him. What a household full of Love. Sitting at the table and seeing all that activity swirling around, even a quaking duck! So much love to you all, Aunt Carol
