"Today we lost Jeri…a wonderful and fully loving mom and wife. She was an amazing artist — of many different mediums: leaded glass, paint and pastel, and of course, quilting. Thankfully we have so many memories of her contained in her artwork that she will live on long after she is gone. She didn’t want a service of any kind, but we would love and appreciate it if all her many friends would take this space to share some of your favorite memories with everyone. One of the last things we laughed about was mom saying “please tell people not to bring any casseroles”! Instead of casseroles (or flowers) would you please consider sending a donation to an organization that is a favorite she has supported for many years: The Southwest Indian Foundation."
