Facebook Twitter GoogleTo the entire Fields family…I send my deepest sympathy at the news of Jerry’s passing. His love for his family was truly epic and admirable. His and Linda’s home was also my home many days of my childhood. My playground, my safe place during storms of my life. Their love for one another and their children flowed over to all those who entered. May you find peace in celebrating his life and honoring his memory. With respect and love, Wendy (Watson) Rucker
