As this year comes to a close, since you passed, there have been so many things I've wanted to tell you.

That how well I am doing in school and have made the Dean's list every class, Johnny's doing good and was promoted to Petty Officer, Erica is playing softball and watches the "Three Stooges" every Sunday morning.

Hoping that your looking down upon us, trying to guide me through the good & bad times.

Most of all, hoping that you're proud of me.

I miss you Dad.

Love,

Marainne

Well It's almost been a year now. Even though your eyes will not see this, I still wanted to say I miss you.

I miss telling you stories of the things that I discovered and the accomplishments that were made.

I miss asking you about all sorts of things. Talking about your past, where you've been, what you've done.

I miss knowing that if I need to find out something, that I could always ask you. Internet search engines just can't compare... It's not the same.

I just hope that I can pass on all the good stuff that learned on to the next generation.

Love,

John

My Papa was very smart when it came to weather but i'm sure you know that. At the Funeral people talked about how he was also a cemidic man and also as a kid.Once he put eggs in his pockets, climbed on to the roof of the chicken house, started flaping his arms and jumped of the roof. I miss his my mother misses him and my grandmother miss him.

Dear Pat and Family,
We just learned of Gerry's death and we are so sorry for your loss. Gerry has been a wonderful neighbor to us. He always made it a point to introduce us to everyone in the neighborhood as well as their dogs. Though we have only been here a short time, we will miss him. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Pat and family,

Although we've never met, I know Gerry and Misty from the dogs' playgroup at Especially for Pets in Sudbury. (I have a golden retriever Bailey and Bernese mountain dog Emma.) What a dear sweet person Gerry was! I was stunned to hear the news today from Paula Adelson, the leader of the playgroup, and am sorry we did not know in time to attend the service. I am very saddened by his passing and we will all miss him so much.

Hi Pat,
Jim and I were so sorry to hear about Gerry's passing.
I remember teaching Gerry to dance on his mothers front
lawn so he could take you to the prom. We had some
wonderful times. Our prayers are with you and your family. Take Care of Yourself. Love Kathleen & Jim
