I miss you so very much darling. This world is poorer with your passing.
I wish there is an after- life where we could meet without family objections,
without hatred, just our love pure and simple. Happiness! Yours always Elena

He also is survived by his wife of many years, who can´t stop thinking of him and loving his memory. To say less would be cruel beyond endurance. Helen Gersten

Gerry was all the things his family says and more. He was a wonderful husband for 11 years. He reminded me once how every morning I told him how much i loved him. I still do. We parted because my cultural background was never accepted. Because of this we never enjoyed sharing dinners or holidays with his family. I felt this disapproval was affecting him adversely. We were living in a grey area with no change for years.He had grandchildren he adored. I could not continue to see him suffer. Every two weeks I came down with something. My doctor told me that if I didn't change things my prognosis was not good. Our friends began to see my decline. We parted. It was a devastating time for both of us. Perhaps both our cultures are accepted in heaven and we meet there. I'll always love you Gerry.
