A brief audio excerpt from Jerry’s eulogy, which follows in its entirety. Today I’m going to talk about what you could call Fate. I want to celebrate my good fortune — how I was lucky enough to meet Grace and have this wonderful life with her.
One of the earliest memories I have of my Mom is when she put the seeds back in the chili peppers. Up until that time, I don’t recall ever seeing a chili with seeds. Although, I probably didn’t eat many chilies at the time anyway.
There are no words to fully express how much I love my mother and how much she will be missed. She was my confidant, my counselor, and my best friend. I am who I am because of her.
