The seventh of eight children, JereLyn passed away Thursday, July 18, after a long illness. She was the second youngest of five girls and for several years was the youngest and carried the nickname of "Bacy."
Jere was a sweet girl but was shy and lacking in confidence. She was upset when her poem was picked as the one to appear in some collection, but that was nothing to the embarrassment she suffered when, as the principal handed the diploma to her, he announced that she had attended 12 years of school without missing a single day.
I remember how she would laugh out loud as she read the comics, and how she enjoyed playing with the cats and dog. She would tease them with a string and run, making them chase her. She was in the group who would rush from the house to greet Dad as he came with watermelons early in the morning before breakfast.
She will be missed.
