View all 50 ReflectionsJerry, I think of you often and when I forget, I see the reminders somewhere on a show or movie of how you were taken from us way to soon. I remember our days together in both junior high and high school. Sometimes you and Bobby M. forgot to study for a test and yes, I didn’t mind helping and the three of us laughing and sometimes cutting up in school. Take care my friend, I’ll be there again sometime.
