To the family of Gerry,

Celebrate her life!!! From what I know of Gerry, she was always cracking jokes and making people smile. I delivered her mail at her last place of residence and she was always fun to be around. She would jump "yes I said jump" into the mail room to try and scare me. Most of the time she succeeded although I wouldn't always let her know she got me. She would ask me to help her with adding minutes to her phone. I ran into her at a polish festival and she was enjoying herself to the fullest. She always looked forward to going to her brothers house for parties. She definitely enjoyed them. Gerry would deliver meals on wheels to her fellow neighbors which she did with pride. We always enjoyed goofing around with each other and she will be truly missed. Gerry had the right idea to enjoy life to the fullest. We should all take note.

Inspired by Gerry,

Brenda Henson
