Susan and Tom Culliton lit a candle

“Dear Liz and family, We are heartbroken that your beloved Jerry has left us. And we are thankful that he has been freed from the discomfort of the fight against a tragic disease. Jerry lit up the room and now his light will shine brightly in the heavens. May God bless you, his sons and your daughters. We have lost a good man whose legacy is kindness and love. Susan and Tom Culliton”
