I am in shock. I just saw him last weekend driving his good ole green truck and tagging along his good ole lawnmowers. Wow! Life is but a vapor. I am saddened and also reminded that my life better be fully submitted to Jesus.

My sympathy goes out to Karen, Fran, Matt, Nick and Katie. Please email me. You know who this is. Nathan, Justin and Maygan would love to hear from you too.

Jerry was my friend, faithful and true to all he loved. Kids, never ever question your father's love for you, it was real and it was deep. Karen, I am so grateful for the love I saw blossom between you and for the purity of that love. I know you will miss Jerry, I pray for your peace. It was my honor and my privilege to serve with Jerry as an usher for those years, he never ever disappointed. Well done Jerry, you were His good and faithful servant and ours.

Jerry,

You will be missed by all. Every time you and I alked you asked me if I was ready to go fishing. We never did make it fishing together, but I know that every time I do go fishing you will be right there with me, because you promised me that we would go.

You are very proud of your children. You could see it in your face, the love that you have for them. I pray that they can see you for the man you were before your illness, and see the love that you have for them.

Thank you for loving my sister. You will always watch out for her from above. Jerry, you were the best man that Karen had, and I am thankful the God brought the two of you together. Knowing that you will always be watching over her and it makes me feel better.

You touched a lot of people in your life and they are better to have known you.

To Karen, his Chidlren, and Jerry's family, I am so sorry for your loss, but Jerry will be with us always.

I did not know Jerry Fransioli, but I had the opportunity to be a teacher of his three wonderful children at East Middle School.

These three children are wonderful examples of tomorrow's leaders in America. Keep up the good work!

I send my deepest sympathies to the Fransioli family. May God bless you with wonderful memories and great strength during these tough times.
