Carol and Bob, Our deepest sympathy to you and all of your family. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mary Stella and family,
I was saddened to hear of Jerome's passing. Jerome was truly a gentle and kind man. I have faith that he was welcomed into God's heavenly kingdom with open arms! I have lots of fond memories from the five years I was the "teacher in your utility room". Both you and Jerome were so kind and welcoming to me...and you were so kind and welcoming to the kids who came over every day! May God hold you all in His loving embrace and may memories bring you comfort.
