Dear cousin Studley. Thank you for the concern and laughter you brought into our lives. The "girkins" may never have been created without you and Linda. And I will never forget your "Welcome Home Kiddo" when we moved back. Although we didn't see as much of you as I would have liked, it was a comfort knowing you were just down the street. And I know you drove by our house" just keeping tabs" on us. I'm glad I caught you a few times! I miss you big guy. You are already sorely missed. Until we meet again... and tell my family we still miss them! Hugs.....

Our deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Porteus. He had a real enthusiasm for both teaching and coaching. That did not go unnoticed nor unappreciated. Our continued thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.

It is not easy to lose anyone let alone a best friend. Jerry was a best friend, buddy, good husband, dad and grandpa. We will miss that laugh, his familiar call at our door, "hey wacko" and his endless telling of stories. Miss you Jerry!

Mrs. Porteus, you and your family have my deepest sympathy. I had Mr. Porteus for American History at TVHS and he made me smile or laugh every single day. I just loved him, and so now I love American history as well. My dad used to drive the football bus occasionally and he was a fan of Mr, Porteus as well. May our good Lord and your fond memories sustain you at this difficult time.
