Proudly serving the Wilson County Community
I enjoyed our conversations and the way he brightened when talking about you. I’m truly sorry for your family’s loss. He was a good man.
His plan of salvation though the acceptance of His son as the only pure and holy blood sacrifice. Jerry exemplified a true follower of Christ. He was an encourager and a supreme example of a devoted Christian husband.
Praying for you, Lynn. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they tht mourn: for they shall be comforted.
