Thinking of you

The staff of the Hampton Arts department of the city of Hampton Virginia sends Kelsey and her entire family our deepest condolences.

Janet

Janet, May the wonderful memories of your brother be a comfort to you.

Sorry for your loss

I am a distant cousin.
My mother was a Rolfsen, daughter of Harry A Rolfsen and granddaughter of Frank A Rolfsen, who was a son of Ferdinand.
I don’t think that I ever met Cliff, unless it was at my grandfather, Harry’s funeral, but I am saddened to know another has gone home to God.

Sincere Sympathy

Judy and family: I am so very sorry for your loss. I always used to call Jerry my second dad. He was a great guy! I know he is in heaven looking down on you and smiling.
Love, Jan Ebenschweiger Cassidy

Symathies

Dear Judy and family, our most sincere condolences to you and your whole family on the death of Jerry. He was one of the best neighbors/friends another family could have. I fondly remember his easy demeanor and quick smile. A devoted family man who worked hard to build his business and provide for his family, whom he loved wholeheartedly. Jerry will be solely missed.
