Rest in Peace Jerry.
My condolences to the Becker family.
My sincere condolences to the family during this difficult time. I just want to share a scripture that strengthened me during my most difficult times and hope it does the same for you; Isaiah 41:10: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness." So draw close to God in earnest prayer and he will draw close to you to take care of you.
My thoughts and Prayers go out to the Family and Friends of Jerry. He will be missed by many. May Jesus put his arms around each of those touched by Jerry's passing and hold them close giving them the peace that only our Lord can give.
