So many fond memories with Gerry and my Mom, Jane. She will be missed. My Mom was Gerry's cousin. I remember visiting the farm, riding the tractor and making 7-Up cake with Gerry. I am in California and would like to be made aware of arrangements for the memorial. Please contact at [email protected]
