Gerald Christensen will be missed. We can all gain comfort in what the Holy Bible say in Psalm 62:8 Trust in him (God) at all times, O people. Before him pour out your heart. God is a refuge for us.

So many memories of Jerry (Mr. 'C') over the years and everyone of them remembering a strong sweet man who never raised his voice, accepted life as it was handed out, and loved, loved all his 'Girls' and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
