Jerry played the most valuable part in my adult life in the past twenty years through sharing his heart, wisdom and caring. Thank You My Brother for Your knowledge and grace. Rest well. I look forward to the day we meet again💞
I came upon a Shaman
An earthly minister of grace
Who walked among us holding
The sacred space we face
His hands of light unfolded
The miracles we hold inside
Allowing us to connect
To a world that we all hide
May Native Angels rest gently on your spirit Bear
Such a great loss Aho
I am sorry for your loss. One of my fondest memory of Jerry were his jokes. He loved to make people laugh. May he rest in peace.
See you on the other side. Blessings to friends and family.
Jerry was my friend. I enjoyed his company, wisdom and a dram. I will miss him.
