Gerry Reeder was a classmate of mine all through Paul Junior High and Calvin Coolidge High Schools. She was a member of my CCHS Class of 1950. I was very saddened to read of her passing away. I trust that her family will understand and appreciate when I say that Gerry was such a cute and lovely young girl and that I always admired her so very much "from afar." Many times I wanted to ask her "to go out on a date with me", but I was far too shy back in those days. The old saying is so true: "Faint heart never won fair maiden!" I send my love and our wonderful memories from the "old days" to you, Gerry, and I wish you well on your journey to God's Heaven. Tom Sheelor

Although we will always shed tears for the loss of a friend and grieve for a stillness where once sang life and love; we also will always wear a smile for the memories that you helped us create, for the life and love you shared.
Though we wish you farewell; will never ever say goodbye.
