John, and family! when found out, it was the hardest phone call to make to you John, for our friendship is special, and w/your upkeep on your mom's health to me, it struck me hard for words to express. As my sis said, losing a mom is so very hard, but knowing we are our mothers children is awesome to keep in our hearts. She will always be with you for yrs to come, but she is yes, out of pain now, and lived such a nice/crazy life like she wanted to, accomplishing so much, sharing w/so many. It's been 12 yrs, since losing our mom, and we're closer now, then when she was alive. I wish you'd give me a holler, as I worry bout you, and wish I could have helped more so w/any personal thgs, as know you did so much to keep her happy, or not, ha! she was a lady, like none other, Amen! my sympathy goes out to all that she touched, w/much respect, we are, Shellie and Bob....her site is awesome! Prayers always!

Hello John, I heard from Shellie that your Mom passed away and I want to say that I know how hard that is to deal with. Please know that my sincere and deepest thoughts are with you through this difficult time. Just know that she is at peace and she is always with you in spirit. I don't really know the details of her passing meaning if she has been ill and if it was expected or not. Either way you will miss her dearly. I truly believe that when people pass over to their next life it is because God has a new purpose for them. And he must have needed her with him now. I am sorry for your loss and hope that you are okay with it. Remember that death is not something to be sad about but that it is a celebration of one's life. I miss my Mom so much all the time but I am grateful that God let me have her as long as I did. One day we will be together again and that I am sure of. God bless you and all your family and hold each other tight and remember all the good things that your Mom stood for. Memories are what holds us all together in the end. My prayers are for you at this time....... Thanks,
Cindy Wamer

I will miss your mother. She was a remarkable, unique woman who was loyal, kind, artistic, and steadfast. She loved to shock convention and follow her own drummer, the world be damned. I'm sorry she died suddenly, but am grateful I got a chance to know her and to love her. She was a wave of emotion and great humor. She loathed hypocrisy and those who never recognized the absurdity of their own existence. While she had some regrets, she reveled in her connections with those who mattered the most to her. Enthusiastic, anecdotal, and devoted to causes beyond the temporal. She will be missed. Love, Jake.

Jack, Johnny and Darryl, I hope all of you are doing ok. Your mom was one of the most colorful people I have ever known. She was also very passionate and caring. Needless to say she is the kind of person that anyone who knew her will never forgot.

I worked with Gerry at Waldenbooks
and have very fond memories of her.
I am sorry I just found out about her passing today and missed the gathering. She was a special lady.

Jackie & Johnny, mom told me about Aunt Gerry........I'm so sorry that she's gone.... But at least she won't be suffering anymore. I know mom is very sad that she wasn't able get down there to see Gerry last week as she had planned.
Just fyi, I took mom to the hospital Sunday morning for those spasms she's been experiencing in her back. She's still there and I'm hoping she can start physical therapy either today or tomorrow. I will keep you posted......
Love,
Debbie

The Hibernian Society of Savannah has lost its sweetheart as well as a talented calligrapher for our Annual Dinner invitations. Gerri was very special to our officers and to The Board of Stewards. We were all fortunate to have known and to have worked with her. She was wonderful and will be missed.

I am so sorry to learn of Gerry's death. She was a wonderful friend to all of my family. She was so artistic and well read. I loved her sense of humor and will always remember her fondly. I will treasure the Christmas cards she sent me each year. I regret that I didn't see more of her in the past year. My condolences to Jack and John, my childhood friends. You're in my prayers.

I knew Gerry well. When we were at the "Out-post" or 1790, we would engage in conversations trying to pick each other's brain. She was great; extremely intelligent; personable and had many friends. She will be sorely missed by family and friends(that had the pleasure of knowing the real "GERRY"::"SONNY"

John,
So sorry to hear of your loss.You and yours will be in my prayers. We went to Savannah High together in the late 1960's. Hope you are doing well. Your picture in your Mom's blog cemented my notion that you were the John Miller I knew at good ole' SHS. I now live in Asheville and know why your Mom loved these mountains !!
God bless
Joey
