I met Mrs. Dennison at Avanti Hair Salon several times and she was the sweetest, warmest, classiest lady! She was welcoming and always asked how I was... what a gem of a person, she will be missed!

Dear Johnny, Bob & Gayle,

Gerri was also second mother to me. I think I spent more time at the Dennision's than at home. When I think of our "little girl" I will always remember hugs, smiles & most of all lots of laughter. You always knew you were welcome in their home. I am truly saddened and also wish I could be there with you all. I know she's in heaven and my folks are showing her around.

All my love,
Roxana(Staller)Shepley

In 1958,when I was nine years old, "Mom" Dennison, Gayle, and I caught the bus and went to Miller & Rhoads to see Santa. Gerri always introduced me as "her second daughter" "my little girl." Mom Dennison always told everyone how long we have known each other (over 50 years) and how I was her '2nd' daughter. She was my '2nd' mom. I love her so much. To "Roberto, Johnny, Gayle, and all the family: my thoughts are with you. I am sure my grieving is nothing compared to yours. She is another Angel joining others in heaven, and now, "OUR" Guardian Angel, for sure!

To Johnny, Bob, Gayle and family

Our "little girl" will be greatly missed. She was a precious gift to us all. There are few people in this world as sweet and caring as she was. Gerri was like a second mother to me and my heart is broken at her loss. We must take comfort in knowing that she is with the Lord and we will see her again some day. I wish I could be with you during this difficult time. Although we are sad at having to say good-bye, we should also celebrate the the life of a truly special person who touched so very many lives with her kindness and generosity. Gerri will live on in our hearts forever. Our memories of her will always bring a smile and make us realize how very fortunate we were to know her.

May God bless you all.
All my love,
