View all 20 ReflectionsI'm so hurt by this ... Jerry was more than the officer that helped my family through a bad time... He was a Friend!!! He would come by and talk to my brothers that were in a gang and check to see if my mom was good. Whenever I would see him He was genuinely KIND and CARING!!! I'm seriously in shock right now!! I was talking to my brother and Jerry's name came up which caused me to try and find him now... to find out he died!!! To Jerry's family, I'm so sorry for your loss!!!! Your father became my Uncle and friend I will forever be GRATEFUL to him!!! God Bless You all!!!
