To the entire McCarthy and Jillette family,

I saw Gerry's picture in the paper and was shocked. With the kids all grown up you lose touch. So sorry to read of his passing. I hope all the wonderful memories you have will carry you through this difficult time.

Gerry was a wonderful person. I remember he used to tease me all the time when I was little. (However now that I think about it all the McCarthy's used to tease me when I was little.) You are all like family to me and I am so sorry for your loss. You are in our
prayers. Now Gerry is with God and Mom and Dad they will take care of him. Gob Bless you all.
