Dear Karol, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget the time Jerry came and rescued us from the scary pigeon in the West Junior High gym. We sure got a lot of laughs out of that!
You and everyone in your family have always been such wonderful friends, it's tough to know you are going through so much pain.

How will we ever move on without you? Your Broncos finished out the season in style. You would have been proud and looking forward to the playoffs. Your kids and grandkids will be here today to prepare to say goodbye. We will face the new year knowing that you are looking out for us from above. My heart is full of joy knowing you are with Dad and Bob, your mom and dad, and all those you hold dear. Many memories will hold us close to you. My favorites are our water fight on El Morrow Drive, playing spoons as you dove over the table to grab the last one, and just knowing that you would be there if needed. I am so happy knowing that we shared this journey of life for so many years. Bill will there for Karol, my beloved twin, as I know you would have been there for me. I love you Jerry. Your Sis always!
