Dear Viano Family,
I was very saddened to learn of Gerry's death. My memories of her are wonderful and she will maintain a special place in my heart -- always. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Time will heal your current sorrow, memories of her will be with you forever -- and I am sure they will bring many smiles along the way!
Love to you all,

Dear Viano Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Gerry from Sr. Anne Monica Ruane, SND. I was Director of Development at Notre Dame Academy when Gerry found the Roxbury Academy stained glass windows in a church in Hull and moved mountains and raised money to get them restored and installed at the entrance to the chapel at Notre Dame Academy in Hingham. There were tears in the eyes of many alumnae at the dedication and luncheon. Not only are they incredibly beautiful 19th century windows made by artisans in Germany, they are a tangible reminder to all NDA alumnae of the long history of the academy in Boston and a valuable connection to the present location. She persevered and raised the money herself--a remarkable woman devoted to her family and to Notre Dame Academy and the Sister of Notre Dame.

I’m so sorry to hear about GiGi. What an amazing storyteller…always entertaining, exciting, witty and best when regaled with a cocktail:) You will be so greatly missed by all of your family and friends but tales of GiGi will always be strong and filled with love and laughter.

I am so sorry for your loss, she was such a strong woman. Mrs. Viano was definitely the force as well as the very generous matriarch of the Viano family. She will certainly be missed by all who had the privledge of knowing her. I will never forget the times that I spent with her and all of her help (much needed) with choosing my flowers for my wedding. Again, to everyone, I am so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Jan
