Aunt Val, Val, Jennifer and Kathleen. I'm so sorry. Uncle Jerry helped my father when he needed it the most recently. It is a debt I will never be able to repay. If you need anything let me know. Love and hugs to all.

Val, Our deepest sympathy on Jerry's passing. He practiced his profession so lovingly, was a man who loved his family, and had so much patience with his patients. But the best memory of Jerry will be the beaming look on his face when he danced with his daughters at their weddings. A Dad's joy-priceless.

Dear Mrs. Skarbek, we were so very sorry to hear this sad news. Dr. Skarbek was such a friendly, kind person. Dad was especially upset, and is going to miss his "phone buddy".
You and all of your family are in our prayers.
