What a pistol when she was young! She would crawl on any horse and ride it. The trail rides was always good when Troy, Dona, Kimme, Jeri and Teri was there. I never forget during the Houston Parade, Troy rode his mule pulling the wagon, with a hammer in his hand. He could not keep him from running and he was going to beat him! Those girls always had a good time. I never heard any of them be bad or disrepectful. Go fly high Jeri, your job here is over. Rest in peace my angel Forever friends, Brenda Comeaux Longnion

Jeri, although we grew up together in the same small town, I'm so glad we had time to really get to know each other when we worked at King Saver. We had some great times. I remember sharing all the memories I had of you when we were kids. You did some very funny, crazy things. Then you said that you didn't remember me that much as kids. I think it's time I tell you why. From my earliest memory of you, I remember being fascinated by you and Teri. It was clear that the two of you had a very special bond. It was also clear, Teri was the nice one. If someone hurt Teri, you hurt them. You were quite the fireball. I made a conscious decision that I would never make either of you mad at me. So, a lot of my childhood was spent watching you from behind something or someone. I am glad we had a chance to get closer as adults because you have been a very special friend and I will cherish my memories of you. Jay
