Dear Diane…Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the family at this very sad time. Our husbands knew each other from years of working at G.E. and later on Jerry got my husband involved in the fire department. I remember the night the two of you came to our house to help Greg with an incision that had opened up. Sorry we won’t be able to make it to the service as my Jerry has an appointment at Pardee. Our deepest Sympathy…Cheryl and Jerry Pruitt
