I feel blessed that we have been friends over the years. You two encouraged my musical efforts and that means a lot. We have shared many good times and made some great memories. Loved the holidays at your place. Always loved to see Jerry’s smiling face wherever we were. Gary told me, “If you ever need help, call Jerry Freeman.” Now that’s a great compliment. Jerry will be missed. Always easy to talk to and fun to be around. We are all preparing to go to Heaven in our own way. They will all be waiting for us. I pray for your heart to find the strength and Grace to get through this and find joy in each day. Love you
Diana,our thoughts are with you. God bless, he will be missed.
Dianna – my heart is with you.
Dearest Dianna Jerry was 1 of those people I wished I had known for more than just last season.
You are in my heart and prayers

Awe, Dianna, I sure wish I could have met Jerry. He sounds like an amazing person. There has been quite a few friends that has passed away recently that has made me stop and realize we have to stop saying some day…that some day must start being now. We have to start doing today what we say we’re going to do “some day.” Therefore, we need to plan to see each other soon. It sounds like you have a wonderful circle of friends helping you get through this time in your life. You can certainly depend on me if there is anything I can do to help you through this. I love you Dianna. I loved our friendship back in the day and I would love to pick up where we left off. When you are ready to meet and catch up on old times, please let me know. We will include Kaye as well.
hugs to you dianna
Dianna, I don’t know what to say other than my heart hurts for you. Jerry was incredible and I know how much you two shared throughout your life together. Your wedding day was one of the most precious memories I think of often when I find myself needing to smile. Please reach out if ever feeling like you need a friend. You both were incredibly blessed to have shared a life together. Hugs, my friend.
Dianna and family, our deepest sympathy to you. We loved Jerry’s smile and humor. You are in our thoughts and hearts
Dianna, we are thinking about you and your family. Jerry was always the life of the party and made it so much fun. I’ll drink from the apple pie bottle in his honor!
