Godspeed cousin. Your suffering is done and you are at peace.

Jerry was my Sponsor at confirmation, and his mother Bev, was my Godmother. I have close ties with the Novak family in blood and spirit. My deepest condolences to all my cousins and family. Know my prayers are with you for the repose of his soul.

Hard to believe. Had not seen him in a long time but my memories of backyard family gatherings at his parents and grandparents homes are very much a part of my childhood. He was nice. Please know that he is in my prayers as are all of you who loved and took care of him till the end!
