April 9 2023 we we're asleep he had his arm around me when I woke up I had started CPR trying to get him to breathe all I could hear was a gurgling noise every time I would blow air in to his lungs please Jerry come back to me I cried hugging him for awhile then I called 911 Jerry had stage 5 COPD emphysema he could no longer walk on his own I would have to clean him up every day and night but that's what u do when u love someone as much as I loved Jerry we were together for 30 year's till he passed away
