Dearest friends,<br />
The world is full of wonderful, kind, happy people but there is one<br />
less today. We have had many friends who square dance over the<br />
years but we were to “busy” to learn and Jerry did not think he could<br />
dance. It took a very persistent couple to finally persuade him to just<br />
try.<br />
It took one fun night to change his mind. He signed us up for lessons that night and told<br />
me on the way home. He did not need to ask me-he knew I loved to dance even if it was by<br />
myself or with the grandchildren. He said it was for me but I knew he was excited too. That<br />
was 15 years ago. He has been working very hard to help keep our favorite past time alive<br />
and thriving. He loved all of you. The smiles on his face were real. If he insisted on you getting<br />
up to dance and make another square it was because he knew you could do it or you<br />
could rest later. I have missed getting to dance with all of you the last two years but you were<br />
always kind and welcoming when I was able to come. I am being told that life goes on and I<br />
feel like with all the love and support I am receiving from my family, you and our God at this<br />
difficult time I will. Know that I am grateful for the many cards and calls. I love all of you. I<br />
will see you all as soon as I am able.<br />
Many Hugs to all of you,<br />

Memories of Jerry<br />
When I think of Jerry, I think of a big presence,<br />
teddy bear heart, full of life, passionate about<br />
square dancing and someone who loved his family<br />
and friends. When John & I took square dance lessons<br />
in 2004 with BBB&B, we visited the Fairbees<br />
a lot, because Jerry & Nanette Tucker and Vernon<br />
& Ann Wells took us under their wings and made<br />
sure they helped us progress in our dancing. I will<br />
never forget their kindness :) Jerry will be missed<br />
SO much. Our prayers, thoughts and love are with<br />
Nanette and her family.<br />
