I was saddened to hear about Jerrie Lea's death.  My parents were close friends with the Corson's and Jerrie and I were friends during our grade school days.  I still have some old photos of Jerry and I standing together as kids. I remember that Jerrie took piano lessons for years, and I remember my parents stopping by the Carson's to visit from time to time and Jerry played a few pieces for us.  After Jr. high I went my on way, as many teens do, however my parents remained friends with the Croson family as long as they lived.  It's not surprising that she excelled with her music.  It nice to read the tribut to here, I'm sure it is well deserved .
