Alma, sorry to hear about Jerry.  Thinking of you and the family.

Jerry had such an impact on us growing up, (Romie and Patsy's kids). He was there for us when we lost Daddy and Mama. I'm so sorry, Alma, and family for your loss of this kind man, who helped so many. You're all in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Jerry is one of the all time greats.  Over the years,  I was continually touched by Jerry and Alma's generous, gracious,friendly, open, hospitable,and lovely manner. I always thought Vanessa was so lucky to have a Dad like Jerry.  I know he spread a lot of love to others as well as his family.  He will be so missed but we will forever have our happy and loving memories of Jerry.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. May the Lord bring you peace in your hearts and know that Jerry is with the Lord. Much love to each and every one of the family.
Sincerely Bob and Denise Van Art

I want to send my condolences to the family.  I worked for Jerry's daughter Angela, and had the privilege to meet and speak with Jerry. He was a sweet man and was always in high spirits.  I remember a time Angela had given me some projects to accomplish and he said " I don't know how you remember all of that". Heaven has gained an angel.

To Alma and kids, 
I'm so saddened for your loss of a wonderfully kind husband and father.  I know Jerry is right now with our Lord and rejoicing greatly.  Words won't fill the hurting hearts but knowing he's safely home does.  
Love you all,

Kathy Sullivan

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Know he will be greatly missed. My Mom and Dad (Virginia and Harold Wolfe) loved Jerry and Alma so much and considered both of them such dear friends. I know Jerry is in heaven with my Mom and Dad and they are catching up on old times. My love to all of you. Alma and the girls please know I would be there if I could. I now live in Syracuse NY and unfortunately won't be able to attend.

Jerry Philemon will live on in so many hearts. He was a loving man who always had time for everyone - especially the children in his life. My girls Gracie and Shannon considered him their very own PawPaw. And he always had a smile on his face, that's what I remember most...God bless you Jerry. Thank you for wonderful memories.

My heartfelt condolences to your family for this loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time.   

Most Sincerely,

To Angela Wyant and Family - "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:18).  Angela, please know that my prayers are with you and your family in this time of bereavement.

Please know that your co-workers are praying for you.   Blessings and Love-

So sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. He was such a sweet and kind man. Renee and I have so many memories of horse shows and trail rides from the beach to the mountains and everywhere in between! He will truly be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I will always remember Jerry fondly and I have wonderful memories of many times that I spent with Aunt Cate and you all during our younger years!  May God's grace and mercy provide comfort and peace.  Love and blessings.

So sorry to hear of his passing. I don't know if I can attend the funeral because I am having heart ablation Tues. morning. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. God speed Jerry & keep them straight up yonder.

My sincerest condolences to your family.  My sister and I were two of those children that were fortunate enough to be taken under his gentle wing; learning how to ride and care for the horses that he loved.  I have incredibly fond memories of riding with Chris and friends and returning to the warm home that Alma created.  My first snorkel and scuba experience was under his patient tutelage and I will never forget those magical moments in clear blue Florida water surrounded by manatees.  It is unfortunate that our bodies fail us, but please know that the true spirit and soul of Jerry lives on in waves of warm memories and joy that he left.

Prayers for the family. So sorry sweet Alma for the loss of your husband. Prayers for you and family. May God Bless you with comfort knowing Jerry is with the Lord. Love You
