Dear Clair, Margie, Billy, Nicky and Elain,
There are no words that can take away the feeling of loss I know you all are feeling now. It's best to remember what a wonderful person Jerry was. He always went out of his way to make people feel welcomed. Each time I came to town, somehow Jerry would find me and make sure we would meet before I left for home. He kept me connected to your side of the family. He told me stories about my parents that I had no idea about. He brought them back to me. Connected them to me as well. He has held such an important role in my life. I will miss him terribly. My love goes out to you all in this very sad time. Know that he is still watching over us, connecting us from above. In his honor, we should all make an effort to keep in closer contact with each other. Know also that I love you all and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Your Cousin,
Judie Dixon

Dear Claire, Margie, Billy, Nicky, & Elaine: We extend our deepest sympathies to you all at Gerry's passing. We didn't see him often, but we remember him for his quiet ways and gentle strengths. We hope you take consolation in knowing he will never grow older, never suffer infirmities, and will remain in your memories as he was in days gone by. Our prayers go out to you at this difficult time.

Dear Claire, Margie, Billy, Nicky, Elaine and all of my dear family members,
I was so sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. I have wonderful, happy memories of him. The too few times I was able to visit Boston, he always made it a point to see and treat me when I was in town. I will always remember his thoughtfulness and smile.
May memories of happy times shared give you comfort in days to come.
I am working towards a goal of organizing and simplifying my life, so that in the not too distant future we can visit each other often. I am so looking forward to those days. I love each one of you and miss you terribly.
Love and God Bless, Mary Lou
