Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jackie, Carly, Anita and kids. I have so many fond memories of your mom working with my mom at Kaw Valley Bank. Sweetest lady you would ever meet! Still after retiring when I would run into her around town she would always ask how my mom was and my family. We will miss her dearly!!!

Jerry was the first person i met when i came to Eudora 30 years ago to start a buisness. She helped set up my accounts at Kaw Valley Bank, and many times helped to straighten out my poor accounting skills! I will never forget how patient she was in helping a green kid that was just starting out in life. She was a very nice person, and will be greatly missed by many. Rest in peace sweet Jerry.
