Jerry, you were my youngest brother in law and the most loving uncle to my children. Like most family we had our moments were we fought, but for the most part we got along. My ex, your brother, use to always say that his family was like a pack a wolves, they fought amongst each other but when someone attacked they always had each other’s back. I believe that is totally true. You were there for me in my good times and in some of the worst. You could always make me smile. Jerry, you would give your shirt off your back for your family. Yes, you did things that were bad, like stealing Bianca’s piggy bank and going to the casino with her hard earned money, but you also made sure that the kids were well protected and loved. I remember when you first heard Ray and I were getting a divorce. You were heart broken that I no longer would be your “sister”. I insured you that I would love you no matter what and I would always be your family. When your brother threatened my life, you were the first to come to my defense. You made 100% sure that he would hurt me no more. You battled an addition to pain killers for many years, and sadly that is what took your life at 29. You overdosed on Oxy. Breaks my heart that you thought you had so much pain in your life that you had to zone out the world. If only you knew how special of young man you truly were to me and the kids.
