JERRY'S MEMORIAL SERVICE AND MILITARY HONORS were held November 22, one month after his passing, on a snowy and sunny Colorado day. Family and friends came from all over - Colorado, Tennessee, Delaware, Illinois, California, Florida, Michigan, and Oregon and probably other places. Thank you for that Day. Your support, love and friendship made all the difference.

Thank You "Chaplain Andy" and "Chaplain Myra" for your leadership, love and support throughout; Rocky Mountain Submariner Veterans for the Submariner Tribute; Mile High Church for hosting Jerry's service; Fort Logan National Cemetery for the military honors and American Legion - Post 1 for warmth and pure kindness - community, conversation and great food.

With Gratitude, You're Keepers
