    You are such a Beautiful Woman. You surely will be missed. I met her when I moved to Hollister many yrs ago. As with everyone she meets, takes you in under her wings. Momma Jerry.
    There was one day, she jumped in her station wagon she had, and took off.. Everyone was, all day long, Where is Momma Jerry? She gets ahold of Linda or Jim, and says, shes in LA where the Rams game is, and needs Jim to come down and get her..
    Such a character, always seems she had a smile on her face.. Loved Dearly by Everyone..
    My Heart is with the Family and her Close Friends. She truly WAS and IS an Angel.
