My sincere condolences to the Jerde family and friends.
Sorry for your loss. Brad, Jimmy and I were friends and neighbors in Dawson. I have fond memories of some of our mischeiveous activities. Sincerely Bobby Grove
Brad was a wonderful man…we loved him. He was here in Pennsylvania for about ten years and he was a person who would do anything anybody needed. Even though we didn’t see him very often in later years, we truly loved and enjoyed our time with him. We want to send our love and God’s blessings to Mary, Robb, Brad, Collin… from “Aunt Anne and Uncle Wally” Zimmerman.
I am so sorry for your loss and pray for your family. We never completely heal from the loss of a loved one, but we have the opportunity to come together and support each other and celebrate their lives. Brad, I pray for you and your family at the loss of your father. Celebrate his life everyday!
Sincerely,
Donnette Miller
So very sorry for your loss Mary, Bradley, Collin, and Robb. I have often thought of Uncle Brad throughout the years. I’m so very glad I got to spend some time with him when he was in for Collins wedding. I will treasure my memories. Love to all.
