Thank you so much for everyone that attended the memorial service for Jerry in person or virtually on Saturday. Michelle and I both felt my Dad's life was celebrated and honored by many of his closest friends, extended family and co-workers. We really appreciated everyone that took time to share a personal message during the service and most of all, we are grateful for your love, friendship and support during this difficult time. It was wonderful to see all of you, reconnect and share memories and stories of our Dad. Thank you so very much. -- Jeffrey and Michelle Smith
