Kony, is what we called you. We visited one another when you lived at 7533 Sewells Point Road when we lived in Virginia Beach but lost contact when Gerry was transfered to other locations for Pizzagalli Construction Company. We have ending up in Georgia for now. Say hi to our Jerry when you see him in heaven. We feel sad for the loss of a wonderful person.

Howard, Wendy, Alisha and family, I am so sorry to hear of Kolona's passing. Although I know that she's in heaven, I also know that each of you will miss her greatly. She lives on at NRBC in the beautiful banners that she created and we will always remember her kind and giving heart. I am praying for comfort and peace for your family during this time. God Bless, Shelayne, Kirk & Robert
