Brother Jerry has led so many people to Christ his legacy and rewards in heaven is something we can only imagine. I’ve been going to his church on and off since he preached on cherry hill once he had us march around the church as we praised God I’ve watched his family grow as well as his ministry. Brother Jerry and sister Donna have been a treatment of what a holy union blessed by God means. My thoughts and prayers are with the family his church family and friends. As we mourn let us remember grief is the loss of not being able to love the person and as we mourn. We rejoice he is walking the streets of Gold with God whom his faith never waivered from.
