Dear family of Bill and Judy,
I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's sudden passing. I'm grateful and blessed to have gotten to know the Gerhard family. Your parents were so proud of all of you! They were both a joy to be around.

Therese, David, Daniel---I was saddened to hear of your Dad's death. Of course it brings back memories of all the great times with your Mom. It makes me sad to drive by the house and know that neither one of them are there any longer. Ron & I send our sympathy to you. Your parents were friends for so many years. Pat Burnside
