View all 208 ReflectionsI met Jerry when I lived in Singapore (1976). He was 7 and I was 6...his siblings (Dani, Peisha and Bragan) all grew up with me as well. We furthered our friendship when our families transferred to Rio in 1980. We spent the next 4 years in school. In 1984, I moved to Houston, and he went to Florida...In the late 80s, when Bragan died, he and I lost contact. I spoke to him to reconnect a few weeks before he died, and heard of it from his mom, Beverly. It has been a hard day for me.
