Although I knew you only briefly, I witnessed your tremendous impact on my longtime friend, Gerard. He truly adored you, you made him laugh and dream bigger than he would have without you. It is rare & uncommon to find an unconditional companion for life's adventures- I saw that you and Gerard were that and more for each other. Thank you for the joy you gave freely to my dear friend, Gerard.
