Here it is 2019. I turned 70 how time flys..I think about you everyday 50 times a day. Your are my first thought and my last at the end of the day. The family has grown there are some I haven't met. The family has changed some I don't even recognize their attitudes and hearts are cold. Even Cheay  and Schooner I don't ever hear from them. They don't like you when you tell them the truth. The only ones I have is my Sister Gordo Mush Nan and Erren.. Brooks works hard and has a big family but once in awhile he pops up to see his Gram. He really turned out to be a good man.I love him to pieces.My sister bought me a electric chair/recliner I couldn't get up in my old recliner she bought for my bday.. So sweet of her.. We are closer than ever. Yes she still works for CAB and babysits for Chris kids  after work.. Bless her heart maybe one day she can retire. Big guy talks about you all the time. In fact he found this website again so I can write to you again. The girls love and miss you as much as I do.I don't see Steph except on my bday first time in over a year and I've yet to hear from her since. Dawn took  us out to Chinese food.. I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for the girls. I have to use a walker to get around now. They do all my shopping etc.etc.. And yes I still have baby she's as healthy as they come. She just turned 11 this yr. Crazy huh?? I know she remembers you.. Any man that walks in she wants loves  from them.. Well Bedford that's really  it in a nut shell. I love you I miss you. If you only knew what I go thru everyday of my life you'd probably be hurt. So I'm glad your not here.

So schooner song for you is "drink a beer" by Luke Bryan and it came on the other day in the car and even dozen was singing it in the back seat and I said is this daddy's song and he said No Pope and started reaching like he was reaching for you! broke my heart but made me happy at the same time.. he is so smart!  I do believe he sees you all the time when I catch him laughing at talking at walls or the ceiling.. he knows should him Pope is and always will.. Were love and miss you so much xoxo 123

will light off a firecracker for you Mother and Daniel!!!!!!!! I still see that camel cigarette in your mouth and hear your laughter!!!!!!!!!!!I will drink a cold one for you!!!!!!!!!!  

Love Dawn

Love and miss you so much pope. Wishing even dozen could have gotten the chance to meet you. But he'll be here caring on the bedford name which you were proud about. He's getting so big and he's so smart! He's just amazing pope.
Love you xoxox

I just want you to know I held together yesterday/easter until I looked up and saw your truck. I'm sorry but I just fell apart. So, so hard to look around and not see you.. So, so hard to go home alone. It just takes my breath away to go down the road alone which takes forever to get home. I'm not sure why you and I were parted. There's so many couples out here that don't give a damn about one another. They just go thru the motions. I so miss you holding my hand or walking up to me and give me a hug and kiss. I miss you protecting me at nite. I have no one now I sleep in fear every nite . Which means I don't sleep. It's the Lil things Jerry. It's the Lil things.

Hi my pope,Its your big red girl!!! 
I miss you so much,i miss your smile.. I miss seeing you all the time when I go to see my mama, or even when I lived out there... I miss walking over next door to moms house and climbing over ladder you put up for me to climb over so I didn't have to walk all the way around just to come say hi to you & gram... I miss seeing you all the time & hearing how "beautimiss" I was.. nobody can beat how many times you told me how beautiful I was. I miss all your jokes, I miss your sarcastic butt.god I can remember the day me an mom came over to the trailer.... the ONLY day you would walk out on the patio without sandels, and you stepped on a sticker, and freaked out.... it was the funniest thing. omg, it was. I miss you pope, ALOT! you were incrediable. you always had every one smiling or laughing. I wish you were here to meet kynley, god she would have just loved you & enjoyed your company sooo much!!!!!! I have your very last beer sitting in my living room, that you had drank before you got hurt the next morning.. what I would do to have a beer with you now, sheesh. I love you so much popo. I miss you, I will see you soon. xoxo 123 honk honk honk!

 Pope,as I sit here trying to think of the right words I can't seem to get them out,I keep drawing a blank. I remember the first time shane shane brought me to meet you I knew this was the family I wanted to be in forever. You and gram welcomed me into your home with open arms and a mouthful to say lol. This family has been so welcoming and loving I couldn't of been blessed into a better family. Shane beford,your grandson,mi fiancé and the father of even dozen is the man he is today and it's all because of you. Thank you so much for making such an honest and loving man  out of him. He's such and amazing father and fiancé,he takes such good care of us. I remember at brandis wedding we were out front smoking and you and gram showed up you bumped into me and said fat girl lol,then you said I looked beautiful even if I wad a little chunky hehe. And then just a few months later we gor the phone call with the most painful news,you were in an accident and we prayed it wasn't true.we all sat there day in and day out. Fat  as could be I would sit by your side we did everything we could trying to get you to move or wake up,even put your hand on my tummy to see if even dozen could. Then the day came we had to go because even little dozen was on his way. I felt so selfish to try and be happy at a time like this. A few days later 9 lb 21 in Branson Lee Bedford was born so handsome and perfect. We took him to the hospital so you two could meet. A few days later it was time to say goodbye,it was so hard for us to to do but it was the right thing to do. 
We all love and miss you so much pope,and one day will meet again. Please look over even dozen I know he sees you,he walks up to your pictures and talks and kisses on you

Pope,
        I only knew you for a couple of months but I am so glad that I had the chance to meet you!  You told me so many stories in that amount of time and I'll cherish them forever!  Your gonna have another great grandbaby here soon and I will make sure she knows what a loving and caring man you were! The whole family misses you more than you can imagine..  Watch over gram cause she needs you pope and so does everyone else! Love and miss you 123

Today is your Pud's Birthday! This 1st birthday is very hard on her. She misses you so very much, as does the rest of the family. We still can't believe what has happend.  Love Dawn

Even though we know they will all leave us eventually Never knowing where the future might lead you No worries though, there is a future for them too Because even if there not in front of you they will always be in your heart Nobody or nothing could tear a love like that apart With that being said my friend you will always be with me And when my time has come I will meet you there you will see I know you are looking down on me now and then Up in a place we like to call heaven Make sure there is room for me when I get there Just so that I know that you still care I don't know how long it will be before it is my time So I'm letting you know with this little rhyme That I will always be here no matter where you are You wont even have to reach out to me because I will never be that far 

Good By My Friend

Jerry Lee Bedford, I still can't believe what has happened!! I will always be here for my sister. You will be loved and missed that's for sure. Love you, your favorite sister-in-law, oh wait your one and only sister-in-law!! LOL that was our joke!! Love Dawn

Dear Sherry:
My name is Nancy Jones. I am a vendor for TIC, and, dealt with Jerry for many many years. Every time I saw Jerry it would be conversations about the kitty your granddaughter found (which Jerry loved) or about which grandchild was doing what. I learned of marriages, births as well as deaths. He told me about the time your fell in the pool and broke your back, and the 5th wheel you guys bought. Over the years Jerry became a very dear friend. I missed him when I would go to the shop and I will miss him now even more. His words to me every time I left the shop would be "Tell Tom or the big guy I said hello". Tom is my husband and they met at Donnas' vigil when she passed. I know you have plenty of family and help, but Sherry, if there is anything I can do, please give me a call. Judy Harer is also a good friend of mine and she has my number. Feel free.
