Duane I am so sorry that this happened. I dont know what I am going to do without knowing you are just a phone call away.

Alls I want is for you to know that i will always love you!!! We will always love you!
That was my step-dad, he was an amazing man. This may not mean anything to the person who is reading this, but i want you to know that he was. He was sweet, caring, and always wore a smile even in great distress and physical AND mental pain. He was a not only a great man, but also a loving friend, father, husband, and just someone you can always talk to. He had three children including me. I am the oldest, Bethany and I'm 12. Then there is his "blood" daughter Kilee who is 11. And then Devon who just turned 7....... Jerry was Devon's hero. Jerry's wife (Devon and my) moms name is Becky. She is crushed, Please send your prayers to us annd our family, he is deeply missed.
