Jerome has left us changed...changed so much for the better, of course. Right now, I'm still shedding tears as I pass by the store, but soon I'll be smiling and remembering how you've touched all our lives. I'll always see you out front displaying chairs, furniture, and your beaming face; and then I'll see you hauling them all back inside at the end of the day...and not because you were making a living. You were giving so we could live better lives. Love you forever, Mr. Mayor.
