My condolences to the Hernandez family. May you turn to God for comfort and peace for he will make you firm, he will make you strong. 1 Peter 5:10

My deepest smpathy goes out to Gerrie's Family and Friends, praying God gives you strength during this difficult time. I remember Gerrie as a little lady with the strength & "spunk" of a lion! Despite being so tiny, she stood her ground when needed. Her long, devoted service to the West Sacramento community was definitely appreciated and Gerrie could be very serious or really humorous, depending on the situation. God called another Angel Home, but I'm sure she will always be around, watching over those people she loved.
