Cathy… I feel so deeply for the sadness that you must be experiencing at this time – especially following the death of your father just so recently. I do know, that you are a strong person, and that you, in time, will continue to live life for your son and daughter, their spouses, and for those wonderful grandchildren that you love so much (and who you spoil with many Scholastic books and other gifts!) My thoughts are with you and know that you are admired, loved and appreciated by many.

Cathy, Scott and Christine,
I was very saddened to read of Jerry’s passing and offer my heart-felt condolences.
Through Cathy at Biddulph and through your family being next door neighbours for years to Sue Anne in Clandeboye, I got to know Jerry some and always enjoyed discussing music with him. We even exchanged some vintage music albums at one of the summer yard sales.
Hopefully your lifetime of loving and fun memories of Jerry will help some and temper your sadness.
Take care,
Paul Ufford
