The Lord came to free you from the constraints of your earthly shackles. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you Godfather. You are always with me in spirit. Rejoice in peace! Tell Dad I love him. I’m glad you two are together again. Till we meet again. Clifford Thomas and family

You will always be loved and missed by my family. You was like a father to me. Your grandson Bradley Cole Payne is really upset that you are gone but he says he will never let you go pop pop.. FLY HIGH BIG JERRY AND KNOW YOU ARE LOVED AND MISSED BY MANY.
