Sharon, I only this moment learned of Jerry's passing, and am crushed. You two were so wonderful together. The way he doted on you was singular and complete. We should all be so lucky in love. I have thought of Jerry often over the years, of how kind he was, how sweet to me, this man who was so busy and such a somebody was overwhelmingly generous and thoughtful toward me, a virtual nobody. I have often remembered how he did all your clothes shopping, because he knew what you'd like and what would look amazing on you. When you two hosted a Superbowl party the weekend my mom was in town, you welcomed her into your home, and she and Jerry talked about how they had both been Florida Gators. While I was your employee, I was treated by both of you as a person like anyone else, and, that evening, as another guest in your home. Reading news of his death brought tears to my eyes. He was a wonderful, dynamic, optimistic man who loved his life and his wife; he was easily one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people I met during my time in New York. My heart is shattered for you, but I hope you have found peace in the knowledge that you have known true love. Thinking of you and sending lots of love your way.
