Jerry, Mary and Michelle welcomed me into their home year after year while I was on summer break from school growing up. They had been friends of my parents since college in Pittsburg. I have fond memories of the 1980's with them during Jerry's swimming pool excavation years. I learned a lot about surveying, sunburns, using a backhoe and the dynamics of a family. Mary and Jerry were excellent role models and picked up where my parents dropped the ball. They gave me my first Bible. I loved going to church at the Friendswood Friends Church and many of my dearest friends today I met while at youth activities there. My life is better and richer having known the Louthan's and I am sad for Mary and Michelle. Jerry had a great sense of humor and a positive attitude that often turned a bad day around instantly. May God comfort you both and your family. Love, Merri Lynn
