Hello to everyone! First off I would like to thank everyone for their continued support out here on tour, but I have some very unfortunate news. My father, Jim Jerman, passed away from a nine year battle with Leukemia on September 6, 2006. As many will know, this has come as a complete shock to myself, family and friends. The cancer took an aggressive turn for the worse, which is why I withdrew from the last two tournaments. I was with my family and we have a lot of love surrounding us. I can feel the love and support from the tour and all of those that have supported me and my career...
Please know that my dad loved being out here with me on tour, sorrounded by not only the best golfers in the world, but by the most loving and supportive group of girls! He loved being out here supporting everyone to do their very best... I just wanted to express how much everyones concern, support and prayers during this terrible loss has helped me tremendously. Also, wanted to let everyone know that in lieu of flowers to please make a donation to Special Operations Warrior Foundation in memory of Seargent First Class James W. Jerman... An organization set to provide finacial needs to those children of fallen soldiers... My dad was retired military and loved being part of the Army and this is the best way to memorialize his wonderful, loving and full life. If those feel the need to contact me please do so through my website email address. Also, the information for sowf can be found on their website at www.specialops.org or the link on this page. Thanks again, I am exhausted and will continue on my journey home tomorrow... I wish everyone the best.
With love, angela
