Memorial Tree Plantings

Tess and I do not like flowers so please do not send any. Instead please donate to these 2 charities below, they are both working for a cure for the exact cancer Jerry had. When Jerry was diagnosed in April of 2021, he said “If everyone paid this much attention to cancer as they did covid we would have a cure for cancer right now.” Please pay ATTENTION, donate as much and as frequently as you can to:
Little Warrior Foundation:

Wings For Ewing’s Sarcoma:
https://lnkd.in/ef-_wY_U
Also, and this is just as important, Jerry had received up to 50 pints of blood and platelets trying to fight this cancer. He was never denied anything. Please donate both whole blood and platelets as much as possible. Please get on a schedule so you don’t forget. TRUST me there are a lot of cancer patients out there, young and old! Here is a link but you can just google “donate blood” in your area.

  3. candleI am forever blessed to say I have gotten the opportunity to know Jerry, and be lucky enough to call him my friend. I have never met someone with such a positive outlook on life, and always made everyone around him smile. I always will admire his ambition, and carry on all of the amazing things he has taught me. I am so thankful I was given the chance to get to know Jerry, and see the smile on his face that could light up an entire room. Jerry truly has a beautiful soul, and a one of a kind heart. Sending all my love to you all. May his beautiful soul rest in peace with God <3
