Paypal sent. Alden, thanks for taking care of this! Donna and I have Jerry and his wife in our prayers. I didn't know Jerry well enough to know if he was a Christian, but I hope he knew the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Here is a bit of scripture I like: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away". Revelation 21:4

I believe you are correct Glenn. There are two people that Lance converses with via the phone(Every day) for the last 1-1/2 to 2 years, myself & Jerry. Lance would tell me that Jerry always talked about Christ. Your doubt has been erased.

Hi, Alden

SO Sorry to hear this news.

I will send a check tomorrow, snail mail.

Hope this will help Jerry & the family.

I allways looked for Jerry's posts and read them.

Ran TT's in 1996 thought their was more power to be gained, and Jerry found it.

Allways loved his Frankenstien motor projects.

Maybe we could do some sort of raffle, or bidding or something for his boating items also, thie should raise the family a good bit more money to help out! (hope this does not rub people up the worng way by saying this.)

Cheers

[camaroboy383]

kris,,,,its a great idea,,,and anyone who knows jerry and the way he loved his stuff,,you know he would want it to be in good hands....At this point it is totally up to jerrys family what happens with his toys..also,, at this stage im sure its the last thing they want to deal with....I hope for his sake all his stuff is used and in good hands,,,he wouldnt want it any other way...But like i said,,,there is a time for it,,but that time is totally up to his family...

by the way..we are up to $495.00 in donations,,,not including any snail mail...

again i thank you all..
