    Charles, Randy & family, keeping you all in thoughts & prayers. Was just thinking about your mom last week. So many memories growing up next door. Ed & Jerri were the best neighbors. Still remember the many nights we’d sit out & play games . Your mom will be greatly missed.

    Jerri was a great friend, mentor, & listener. I have already missed Jerri since she was no longer able to work at the Alumni office so she has been and will be always missed and loved. My prayers go out to the Family.

    The Pfeifer family sends their condolences and good wishes for the family. I know our parents are up there reuniting and reminiscing of all the great times spent at Boystown! Your mom and dad were special to so many! Prayers and blessings sent.
