My deepest condolences to the Tyring family. Even though I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Jerry Tyring, I understand that losing a loved one is heartbreaking. A pain that even our Lord Jesus Christ suffered when his friend Lazarus died (John 11:33) But he also gave us hope for the future found in John 5:28, 29 – ” Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” May the hope of once again seeing our loved ones give you the strength that you need during these difficult situation.

When ever we lose such a caring and loving person, it is the hardest thing that any of us can go thru. And because of that my thoughts and prayers are with your family. During this extremely difficult time, please turn to God for comfort and support. He promise to give your family the strength needed in order to endure this great lost.

Sending my condolences to all the Tyring family. I met Mr Jerry Tyring when I was about 16 years old when I was with Sherry and Joe. I’m praying for all to have comfort from the Lord and His almighty strength to get through this difficult time.

My sympathy to the family of Jerry Tyring. Jerry was my Brother-in-Law married to my wife’s sister. Jerry and I go back a long ways to the 1950’s. We both served in the military, he in the USAF and I in the US Army. We had many enjoyable visits over the years, both in the United States and in Europe where we were stationed at the same time on one occasion. Jerry’s wife, Margie, was a sister to my wife, Norma, and to Helen Fenn Wilson; all are now deceased and greatly missed. Rest in Peace Jerry.
Dustin Tyring says
Tomorrow Mark’s the anniversary of my Grandfathers passing. This is actually the first time I have read any and all of the condolences and I’m moved to the point of tears. There are no words I can speak nor write to describe just how moving it truly is. While my grandfather is gazing now upon us, I know that he is not alone. My heart and soul tell me he is truly reunited with the rest of our family, and as they all watch over us until our final days, where we too shall all be together again; may he always be remembered and the time he spent here on earth celebrated.
