Pam, Cathy, Lorrie and Jeffrey...so sorry to hear about your Moma's passing. No one can ever replace your mother (believe me I know). Just keep close to each other and remember all your special times you each had with her. I saw this and carry it in my wallet and look at it often. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal." Love ya all and keeping you all in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of meeting your Mom and enjoying her company when she stayed in my driveway in her camper, that sure was a fun time. I will never forget her smile and our long conversation.
It is my Honor to call her a friend. I know you will miss her but I also know you will keep her memoires alive.
God Bless you all

We loved Gerry so much ! She was such a pleasant person and a hard worker. She helped at our Chili suppers for years and was on the Board of Directors at German-Paristown Neighborhood Assn. Gerry always had a shoulder or and ear for anyone who needed her. She will be sorely missed.
God bless. Steve & Judy Magre
