Jeri, Jeri, the world is just not a better place without you in it. Thanks to Jeri who taught me and mentored me as a new graduate nurse. I was so scared to care for patients as a new graduate nurse, Jeri made it look so easy and simple. Jeri had a very soft voice and bedside manner I had never experienced. Her relationship with her patients was very personal and her patients knew they were in loving care and care to help them. Jeri was so funny too, after our shift we would sit and laugh so hard we were crying. It could have been because we were so tired but laugh we did! Jeri was a single mom doing double shifts to meet the needs for her 3 children. I remember, I had no idea how hard it was for her. Jeri never complained about anything even her health. I introduced her to my brother Lou and wanted my friend Jeri to meet a nice guy. Well, the rest is history. Their love for each other withstood the test of time. And happy they were.
