John 14:1-3:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” Now, Jerry you can Rest in Peace!

Can’t really begin to say what Jerry meant to our family. To know him is to love him. He helped our family out during dark times. We were out of state during his passing. We are extremely honored the family chose KTF Foundation to donate. Very touched. We will always love the Cook & Waller family’s. Keep the Faith ❤️
Much love and prayers for you Diane, and your family. Give Max and Maggie my love!
