Honoring Jerry's Memory: Death by Suicide

My family is struggling with an enormous loss. Jerry died by suicide and accepting his death has been a challenge that no words can express.

He was a good man. A “gentle giant”. He was dedicated to our family and dedicated to the people he loved.

He provided for four children, one biological son and three daughters that were his ex-wives' biological children from previous relationships. His ex-wife was not in the picture but that did not stop him from raising her children as his own.

We would like to plan a beautiful service to honor the man he was. The last thing any of us want to be doing while we mourn is to have to ask for money, yet we humbly ask the community for help. A donation, no matter the amount, would go towards a dignified memorial for Jerry. If you cannot donate but still want to help, then please share this link with others. It is free to share and may fall into the right hands. We don't know how to do this, this is our first loss. We have never had to arrange a service like this before, so any advice, words of wisdom, or prayer is just as appreciated as a donation. Thank all of you for taking the time to read this. God bless you.
