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. Each member truly has the love, energy and spirit of their parents. I hope you hold special memories in your hearts and keep traditions going. Thanks so much for allowing so many to get to to know them and you. Love, peace, prayers and God's Blessings to all of you. I will truly miss them. I'm glad they are together in Heaven.

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
