My son, I will miss you from now to we meet again. I love you forever. Mom
I AM SO SORRY. WE HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT HIM COMING OUT AFTER HE WAS BETTER THIS YEAR. DAVE AND I WILL TRY TO COME OUT. LOVE YOU JOHN
Jerry, you will be missed. Your continued support and kind words were always appreciated. Thank you again for lending us your son for a few years and doing suck a great job in raising him. God bless!
Jerry, I’m so glad I got to know you. You are one of the kindest, caring, considerate people I’ve ever met. I love that you and Donnie did a ‘guy thing’ with that car ride. Both of you enjoyed that tremendously. We will all be together before you know it, and what a better neighborhood for all of us. I love ya man. Thanks for just being you. You did make the world a better place. You are a fine example of manhood and of serving our wonderful country. I surely hated the pain you were in there at the last, but aren’t things beautiful now?! Don’t worry about your Mom, I’ll watch out over her, much to her dismay. See ya soon.
I am so glad I got to spend time with you last time you were in Missouri. You were always loving and kind. I am proud to be your aunt Barb. You will be missed so very much I love you Jerry Walters Prince
Sending prayers to the family and our condolences so sorry for ur loss. The Newboles Family
To my big brother who meant so much to me . It wasn’t easy just to try and be like you; I always looked up to you and I know I could never be the man you were, but you sure kept me on my toes. I will surely miss you . You know you left an impact on my life for the better and I’m already missing our phone calls we shared and all the wisdom you tried to bestow in me. The only thing that makes me smile about you now is knowing you are in a better place. I love you brother and miss you and will see you again I know. God bless.
Jerry was a great American and a trusted friend. We meet at Lakewood in 6th grade. Stayed in contact till he pass. Rest In Peace my friend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, we are so sorry for your loss. 💙
Mrs. Prince,
It was so nice to meet you. I wish that I had gotten to know Jerry after hearing you talk about him. What a good mom you have been! It is an honor for us to help you with your son’s Marine Corps Honors ceremony.
