I remember my Aunt Gerry with love and know she is with the Lord. She took care of my two Children Ken and Jill when I had to work. I haven't seen her in so many years, but I will never forget her.

I feel very luck to have had the chance that not many people have and that is to have had my great aunt in my life for 40 years and that my son was able to have his great great aunt in his life. My aunt was the most loving and acepting lady in the whole world. She was always so proud of us and let the world know it. I will miss going out to eat, I will especially miss seeing nick and her enjoying a day together. Our family will miss her forever, but she has left behind many lessons in love kindness and how to make a mean potato salad. I love to think She is among the angels she so loved.
