We were so saddened to hear about Gerry. She and Maxine were our favorite cousins. We always looked forward to our visits with them in Baton Rouge because we knew that we'd be greeted with smiling faces, have wonderful food to eat,and have lots of fun. I remember Gerry being somewhat of a tomboy, a good sport and always happy. She was the strong one we all looked up to. Our love and prayers for strength are with you all.
