Aunt Gerry was a beautiful lady. She was always so kind and considerate. As many others had said, a wonderful cook. I called her two Christmas's ago after I had gotten done making pierogis and guess what, she was in the midst of making them for her family. Amazing. She will be truely missed.

Aunt Gerry was very special. I can see why my parents asked her to be my god mother. My most memorial time was when we (my husband, Bruce and beagle, Leo) stayed with her for a couple of days about a year or so ago when we were driving back from Tampa to Boston. She took so much pleasure in making a delicious stew and cake for dessert! She was very good-hearted person who loved spending time with her friends and family. I know she was going through a lot of health issues. It's good to know that she isn't suffering any more.

I just looked at all the photos and had a smile on my face the whole time. I teared up a little when I seen my Grandma in some as I know how much she loved Aunt Geri .I think we need to take comfort in knowing that they are together again. I know how much it hurt when she passed away and pray for your strength and for the Grandaughters who lost their Grandma as there is no replacing that bond or love ,but know she will always be with you in spirit and I see it in all your faces as I look at bthe pictures . God Bless and peace with with Aunt Geri

I will always remember Mrs. Kubis. She always had a special bag of candy for me when I trick or treated, and she was always ready with a smile and some of those butterfly cookies, chocolate turtles, or other little treats while I was growing up back in Cedar Creek. While my heart is heavy from her loss, I will always remember her for showing me how bright and caring we can be towards one another. My thoughts and condolences to all of her family.

My heart is heavy for your loss. She was an important part of my life for near a decade. I will never forget her love and generosity. I still prepare some of her recipes even, today. As with Jim, so long as each of you live, including Brittany and Gina, a part of her will continue on. Love to you all.

Your Mom was a very special to us. She always had kind and caring words. I remember her taking me (Elaine) to the Circus, front row seats. That was something! She was so classy, pretty, and knew how to dress. Great cook, baker too and much more.
What a wonderful, talented Aunt. Beautiful memories will be in our hearts always.
Love,
Elaine & John DiPasquale
