Sharing words sent to the family from my family and our close friends when they learned of the news of Betty.
From Katrina (and James) (Jerry and Lori’s daughter in law, wife of Lori’s son, James)
Lori,
Please let Jerry know that we are praying for him and his family through this difficult time. You, most of all, will know how to help Jerry through this difficult process, and I'm glad you have each other.
Many blessings on you, Jerry, and the Daniele family.
Love,
Katrina
From Frank and Gail Cardiello: (Lori’s old co-worker from Home Depot and close friends with Jerry and Lori)
Deepest Sympathies & Prayers you both.
From Elaine and Steve Rinehardt: (Lori’s cousin from Indiana)
I am so sorry to hear this news. I had not heard about her fall. Unfortunately, as we all know, that is a most tricky thing to overcome when you are older due to complications that come with it. Let Jerry know that our thoughts are with him and his family, as they are with you too. It is nice that you got to know her a little yourself beyond what you knew through Jerry. There are some amazing older people, especially when you hear about their lives and what they have experienced.
Sending you love and hugs.
From Ric Burrous: (Lori’s cousin from Indiana)
Condolences to both you and Jerry. It is always difficult to lose those who have meant so much us in our lives, in ways great and small. I can only hope that once the shock and grief wear off that you both -- and the rest of Jerry's family -- will be able to recall those precious moments again and again. I believe that such memories are truly a way for loved ones to live on. Love you both.
From Tom and Vicki Clark: (Lori’s Aunt and Uncle from Denver)
Dear Lori and Jerry,
This is such hard news to hear even when one has had a long and productive life. I’ve known from your many comments, Lori, how much you loved Jerry’s mom and I also know the great bond between mothers and sons if you’re lucky. Gather those good memories you speak of and keep them close at heart for the sad and lonely times.
We will be thinking of you and all the family as you travel, mingle and celebrate the life of this beloved mother.
With love and hugs,
Vicki and Tom
From Valorie and Charles Cole: (Lori’s cousin in Indiana)
Dear Lori (and Jerry),
We all know what you are going through, don’t we? Your heart aches and wish you had more time with them. Charles and I pray for all of our family daily…our prayers for you and your family will change because of what you are going through. Memories, especially the happy ones will be what will sustain you…we pray for safe travels and that the family can work through this time together and bury Jerry’s mom with love in their hearts and we are so sorry for your loss.
Hugs to each of you…
Love, Prayers and Blessings,
Valorie

Responding to the news of Jerry's mother.
I'm so sorry her life ended in this way and know the family will miss her a lot.
I'm also glad you had the opportunity to get to know her at least a little bit. Give Jerry my love...
From Margie Butler: (Jerry and Lori’s close friend in Michigan)
Jerry & Lori,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I know how close you were and how sad it is to say goodbye to a parent. I love the stories about her that you have shared from the way your parents met to her times at the Nugget. What an amazing life; just thinking of all the things she experienced over the years - plus she survived raising you :)
Safe travels to her memorial.
Margie
