Our deepest sympathy to the Kraus family. Jerry was a wonderful, sweet person loved by everyone. We will always remember how he came down to our boat at the Whitehall city marina with a big pan of still-warm-from-the-oven cinnamin rolls to send us off on our trip. What a guy! Always thinking of others. He'll always hold a special place in our hearts.##imported-begin##Bill and Dea Danly##imported-end##

Dear Marlyn and Family, We just heard about Jerry and we cannot even begin to tell you how our hearts are full of sorrow. Such a huge loss for so many as he left his love where ever he went. We loved running into him at Meijers and he always had a smile and something to tell us about his family. He loved his family so much.
We thank the Lord for allowing us to know him and share our lives with him for so many years. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. What comfort there is in knowing we will all be together again someday very soon.
The Lord bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and grant you all much peace.
Love and Most Sincerely,
Diane and Butch Chester##imported-begin##Diane and Butch Chester##imported-end##
Aunt Marlyn,
Mallory had informed many of us about Uncle Jerry's ups and downs over the past few months. No words can express my sympathies at a time like this, please know you and the Kraus family are in my prayers. I have many pleasant memories of Uncle Jerry from when I was a young girl. He always had such a warm and welcoming smile that instantly made me feel comfortable. Of course, I must agree with my brother Johnny about his famous cinnamon rolls - they were delicious. I know Uncle Jerry is looking down watching over all of us with God on one side and the angels on the other. God Bless.##imported-begin##Jillian R. Duff##imported-end##
Dear Marlyn and family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. I have such fond memories of Jerry. He was a kind and considerate soul. My family will always remember the cinnamon rolls, the bread and the apples he dropped off for the deer. I hope you find comfort in knowing that he will be greatly missed and I thought the world of him. I will think of Jerry each and every year on his Birthday, as we share the same Birthday September, 8th.
Thinking of you,
Sincerely,

Kraus Family, although I can't be there in person to pay my respects, know that I am there in spirit. My Uncle Jerry was always such a kind, warm Man, always quick with a smile and a hug. It didn't hurt that he made the worlds best cinnamon rolls too! He will be greatly missed but take solace in knowing that he is now in peace and will never be truly that far from us, for he will forever hold a place in our hearts.##imported-begin##John Duff Jr.##imported-end##
