Joyce Patterson (Mrs. Albert L Patterson)
Dear Sam, I am greatly saddened by your news and realize Gerri had a long and difficult battle with cancer. I know it was very hard for everyone close to her, especially you, her dear loving twin brother. Al and I were always impressed with the care, love and cooperation you shared with each other – and we always knew your lives were filled with shared fun and pride in your accomplishments.
I was fortunate to have been a part of the Wonderly “tribe” and especially enjoyed knowing your mother and father plus Aunt Dolly quite well.
I am lucky to be in a wonderful Retirement Community, here in West Columbia. Al and I enjoyed it together for about a year and a half. Of course I miss him terribly – but am getting along OK. Martha and now Arthur live near me, two grand daughters and my great grand daughter are in Columbia too, The others are scattered around but they do keep in touch with me.
I hope things will go well for you in the future. Thank you for being such a wonderful Wonderly/Weller!!!
With happy memories, prayers and love, Joyce

I am so sorry to hear of Jeri’s passing. I worked with Jeri for a number of years on our Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board in Reno. She was an advocate for her neighborhood and attended every NAB meeting, clean-up, and was always looked for ways to get involved. I am blessed to have known such a brave and wonderful woman. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sam, and family, I did not know Jerri personally,(although we probably met when we were very young) but from everything I’ve read she lived a beautiful, happy and full life, and was dearly loved by all who knew her. Please know you have our sincere sympathy in her passing.

Sam,
I left you this earlier and I feel strongly that it’s worth repeating.
Sam, your grief is most unimaginable as you and Jerri, twins, by G-d’s hand, came into this world at the same time together, almost as one heart, one single soul. My heart goes out to you for this loss of your beautiful twin sister, Jerri. Losing someone you love so dearly is difficult. A twin sister is an extension of oneself; this is a profound absence greater than one can imagine.
There are never right words or expressions one can convey to lessen your sadness. Just know that as you move on in this lifetime, you carry her heart within your heart.
I extend my heartfelt Prayers and Blessings for you and your family.

What great memories were portrayed in the video of Jeri and your family and friends.. We watched it several times. They say time heals all sorrow. We sure hope so. In the meantime, know that we and many others think of you often and wish you the very best of everything in the future.
Fondly,
Fred & Dorothy.
