I  just happened to stumble across this obituary. I met Jeri when she was 17 years old and I was 19. I knew her brother Louis at the time and that is how I met her. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I only wish I could have more memories and could have spent more time with her.

super nice lady that I knew thru the Waterford, while my dad resided there for 3 years, she talked about how much she missed her dad and now she is gone to be with him.  I found a picture I wanted to share

Rest in Jesus' Sacred Heart Jerri, Lay Missionary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus from the Hill Country.

From a St. Anthony de Padua parishioner, I would like to extend my most deepest condolences to the family of Jerri Collins-Klotz.  We celebrate her life as we know she is in heaven, at peace and in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  You have priceless memories of Jerri.  She will be the wind beneath your wings, the bird songs that you will hear each morning, the rays in the sunshine beaming through your window, the rain drops on your cheeks and the smile on your face.  God Bless you as you go on without Jerri but please take comfort in knowing you will see her again.

I am so saddened by Jerri's passing and know she is now in the loving hands of Christ. She will truly be missed as her loving heart, gentle spirit, spontaneous laughter and loyal friendship is held forever in our hearts.

She was an angel among us. A strong, considerate and loving woman of God. A true servant leader. My family and I were blessed beyond measure to have known her as a neighbor, friend and sister in Christ. We will never forget the first time we met Jerri. She welcomed us into the neighborhood with a such a caring and loving smile. She made us feel right at home. From that moment on, even after she and her family moved from Northern Hills, she would always greet us with her "hey neighbor" loving smile and wave. We were privileged and honored to have the opportunity to worship and serve along her side at church. She will continue to live in our hearts and never be forgotten. Rest In Peace sweet Jerri. Our thoughts and prayers for the family.

Jerri was filled with the Lord and his workings.  She was a sweet spirit who gently passed love and wonderful hugs on to all she came in contact with ... I feel blessed to have known her.  God grant peace and comfort to all family at this time, prayers lifted.       Patrice

Jerri was a great lady and I really miss visiting her at her home. Last year she came to my Granddaughter Raylynn'd 1st Birthday party and we had a great time. I am glad I was able to help her son Daniel get a scholarship to help him be successful in college. RIP Jerri and know that I try to help your husband and family with any benefits that I can whenever they come available. I will also keep an eye on your brother Louis. He is a great friend and I am thankful for having his friendship. Thank you for thinking so highly of my abilities to accomplish tasks and my "Never Give Up" attitude. Love Flo
