Dear Albert and Family: So shocked and devasted to learn this very sad news. We grew up together as our mothers were very close friends from childhood. Can only recall the most wonderful times we had especially growing up with Kerry Jo as she was the closest in age to Judy and Me. She was indeed fun and had an incredible sense of humor. Was so happy to reunite with her in Pgh. three years ago where she was once again so engaging and telling me how proud she was of her children and grandchildren. I could not be more heartbroken today to learn of her passing. She will always be an indelible bright light in my memory. I am sure her warm memory will always be a blessing to all who knew her and loved her. Our Sincerest , and Saddest condolences, Joyce Arnoff and Judy Wolff (Ziskind)

Memories of Kerry Jo extend to lazy, fun days spent at Baldoc, where I got to know Lester & rest of the family, too… Although we’ve moved to Florida, we would still enjoy talking with one another… will cherish the memories…

May you be comforted with the mourners of Zion. The memories from high school come flooding back—all the way to when she took me to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance. She was an elegant and impressive person. Our reunions will be diminished without her. Ave atque vale.

I can only imagine how hard this last month has been for the family. Certainly nothing anyone can say will really help. I just hope that somehow you will find comfort eventually. No one is ever “grown-up” enough for such a tragic loss.

Will so miss my close friend of 70 years. From walking home from school to my yearly visits to Pgh …. across many miles and years. Kerry was always a good, loyal friend. And even a banker to my mother! My sadness and sympathy to Adam, Rebecca, grandchildren and …Albert who gave her much support and love. 💕Susan

Albert. My condolences. Kerry was always a good and gracious woman. I knew her long ago through high school, my home room where she was VP, and later working with her on reunions etc. I am glad she brought you love and a strong relationship. I wish you the best and am sorry for your loss

As a high-school classmate and member of our reunion committee, I can attest to your wonderful memorial words. I am currently out of town, so I regrettably will be unable to share my condolences in person. I hope her memory brings comfort to Kerry’s devoted friends and family.
