“Bless those who mourn, eternal God, with the comfort of your love that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love.”

Thoughtful, kind, serene, observant, soft-spoken and gentle – some words that come to my mind when I think of Jerry O’Keefe. He had that gift of looking into your soul and connecting with you. I didn’t know him well, but I didn’t need to know him well. His actions defined his character. Planting a seedling on our summer property several years ago, and watching it grow into a luscious tree, and seeing his smile every time I visited Newfoundland. Jerry, whenever I visit Newfoundland again I will see your smile in that tree and your whisper in the wind that blows this tree. I picked my daughter up from college tonight and when I told her Mr. Jerry O’Keefe had passed away, she serenely said, “Aww, Mom.” And then we looked up into the skies and saw the biggest, most bountiful rainbow. When I googled the significance…seeing a rainbow after someone dies is a sign that their spirit is in its next destination. Jerry, I’m sure you are Home, you flew into the gates of Heaven and will be the spirit and guide that Linda needs to continue on. If everyone on this earth mimicked your actions, what a beautiful world this would be. My deepest condolences.
Pictured is a photo I took of Jerry and his beautiful bride when I was visited Newfoundland August 2023. His strength that day was amazing.

I'm so sorry Aunt Linda. I never met Uncle Jerry, but my Mom, Flo, told so many great stories about him that I feel like I knew him, and I know I would have loved him. May he rest in peace and may all the O'keefes that preceded him be dancing and having a great party together!

Aunt Linda,Tracey and family,
So very sorry to hear of Uncle Jerry’s passing. A wonderful kind soul with a heart of gold who meant so much to so many. I am sure his kind nature will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate to have known him. Being a newcomer to the O’Keefe family. I recall my first meeting with him and Aunt Linda and how nervous I was with Eldon holding my hand. That feeling sure was diminished with his kind welcoming words to me as a tear flowed over his cheek.”I have wondered and looked for you for over 50 years..,now we have finally found you”. His words and open arms will stay with me always and he will hold a special place in my heart for the remainder of my day’s.My only wish is that we had more time to hear his stories, laughs and love. Rest easy with the lord and fly high with the angels.Deepest condolences and may the wonderful memories carry you through this difficult time.
Colleen and Eldon.
