It is never easy to write a letter like this but I want to get this information out to you. This morning I received a phone call from Romania that Jerry had passed away this weekend. He was found on a beach, I believe at the Black Sea, after suffering a massive heart attack. He had gone there for the weekend with Gigi and Nicole. Sunday morning he said he wanted to go for a walk on the beach. When he did not return after several hours, they went to look for him.
The kids and I are adjusting to this news. We feel blessed that we were able to see him only 3 weeks ago at Kimberly's defense. It was a particularly good family time and now, in hindsight, we feel that there was some closure that occurred then. We are grateful that he was on a beach and trust that he had shells in his hand.
Know that the kids are all doing well at the moment. It is taking time to sink in. As we see how we will honor his life, we will let you know more.
