I appreciate the sweet, kind smile and presence that was always shown whenever I was with Jerilyn. Even though I have not seen her for a while, this is what I always envision when I think of Jerilyn. This is how I will always remember her, and she will always hold a special place in my heart...because of the sweet spirit she leaves with us. I pray that sweet memories will bring peace and comfort to her beautiful daughters, grandchildren and the rest of the family.
