Our thoughts and prayers are also with you. Jayne was a wonderful person. I can remember her talking about how she loved living in Guam in the early days of her marriage to Gerry. She also often spoke about how much she loved Gerry and how much she appreciated the way that he loved her and how well he took care of her. She will be missed.
