Sharon Perry Kurth wrote a sympathy message

“As Donnas friend throughout our school years I saw a lot of Mabel & Jerry. They always made me feel welcome and at home. I still can hear Donna's mom when we made her laugh and Jerry chuckle at our antics. Jerry was an honorable Christian man who served his community well. He was my husbands back up snow plow man in the 70's. They plowed many a drive and parking lot through rough Ohio snowstorms. Jerry served his God, family, church and community well. A shining example of a Godly man. RIP”
