*A WORD ON THE MEMORIAL FUND FROM MRS. DOMISH:
Hello, I am Jerramie’s mom. Some of you knew my Jerramie as a hard playing hockey player who always had time for and loved his fans, friends, family and the life of any party he attended. Some of you knew the kind hearted, loyal person who would always help a friend. Some of you knew the man who had been changed by Jesus’s love, compassion, and mercy. I want to briefly tell you one thing about my son that has been consistent since the day Jesus gave him to me… he loved deeply. I want to briefly tell you about the Jerramie Domish Memorial Fund we are starting to keep Jerramie’s passion for hockey alive.
Jerramie loved teaching hockey skills and the game of hockey, especially to the “youngins” as he referred to them no matter their age. Jerramie very recently told me he wanted to talk with young hockey players about the hard side of hockey and the toll it can take on the body and the mind. He wanted to tell them how to use the power of prayer and Jesus to help them “navigate a potential mine field of injuries” as he called it. He wanted to make sure every kid who wanted to play hockey could even if they couldn’t afford to. I told him I would help him in any way I could and this Memorial Fund is the way. We want to bring hockey to those who can’t afford to play, teach them hockey skills, and help them know Jesus just as Jerramie had recently. We are asking for donations of time, money, equipment, ice, prayer whatever you can provide to help keep Jerramie’s memory, passion, and love alive.
You can send any monetary donations to the Jerramie Domish Memorial Fund in care of Phoenixville Federal Bank, 120 Main Street, Phoenixville, PA. 19460
You can send all non-monetary correspondence to 130 W. Main St., Ste. 144, PMB 343, Collegeville, PA. 19426, we are currently building a website. Please include your contact information and specifically what your donation is; such as hey Mrs. Domish, I can help at a clinic, or donate ice time, or stuff envelopes, or supply equipment or sticks, or I can be a pray warrior for the fund. Whatever it is you can do we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It is our mission to bring hockey to all who want to play and help teach them about the power and love available to them through Jesus, Jerramie’s redeemer.
