I was devastated back when I had heard Tom (N0SS) had passed, but I had no idea Jeri (K0RPH) was sick. My condolences to the family and all of the close friends, that both Tom and Jeri had known over the years. It is sad to hear that two great people, who I called among my friends have passed. Neither one will be forgotten and I will cherish the many fond memories that I have of both Tom and Jeri.
My condolences for the loss of Jeri. She was a classmate I got to know more and more over the years. Jeri was very special to many and will be sadly missed.
I was so sorry to hear of Jeri’s passing. I was a classmate of Jeri’s, and she and Tom were regular attendees of our class dinners. Jeri would still occasionally attend after Tom’s passing, and she will be missed. Rest in peace, Jeri.
My prayers go out to Jeri’s family. So sorry to hear of her passing.
Along with many other classmates in the JCHS class of 1964, I want to send my sincere sympathy to you. We have missed Tom and now we will miss Jeriann. I have so many fond memories of good times with them both. Please know we are with you as you share your memories of your mom. May they now rest in peace together.
Debbie and family sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers
I was a classmate of Jeri’s and was surprised to hear of her passing when I read her obituary today in the News Tribune. I was looking forward to visiting with her at our upcoming reunion this fall. My sympathy goes to her family and you can be assured that Jeri had many friends who will miss her. She was a wonderful person.

I’m sorry to hear of Jerri’s death. I knew her from pool class at Healthplex West.
To Jerriann’s family, my condolences are with all of you. When I think of her I see her big smile and remember her always kind, fun and thoughtful ways. She was always good to everyone, me included. Our JCHS Class of ’64 will miss her in many ways but know we will all remember her as a special friend and I just know her wonderful spirit will be with us in September at our 50th Reunion……. With sympathy, Nancy (Gaines/Sappington) Jones
