Gerry, it was great knowing you while I worked as secretary at Maine Federated Church and fun getting your e-mails. You have been a good friend. I'll miss the e-mails and our friendship.

Gerry lived at Marian Apartments, where I used to manage. But I became friends with her long before that, through mutual friends and some of my family members. She was one of the most incredible and loving people I have ever known, and I am so sad to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I will never know your loss, my heart goes out to you and your family. I will miss the times we shared with your mom, she was a great person with a heart that was so big and giving. She showed me how to read patterns, and gave me my first knitting needles. My deepest sympathy to you and yours.

I only knew Gerry thru Bingo and the American Legion Auxiliary at Post 82. She was a very lovely person who was alway willing to assist at the Auxiliary and bingo functions. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Gerry, thank you for reaching out to me!
My sympathies to the family! Gerry approached me and my family at Nezontoz in Endwell, voicing her concern that my daughters had missed out on a newborn cap as they were born at Lourdes, not Wilson. Since that time I worked with her (very sporadically) on items for Crafters for Christ. I cherish that kind pink button she gave to me, to bring me into the fold. Just days ago I peeked again at some yarn she had given me and made a mental note to get back to that. I guess I'll have to send my love to her a different way now.
I am glad to hear she's with her baby now.
'Till we meet again.

You were my dearest friend, my mom, and my wisdom; only the strength you gave me could get me through this time. Being there with you through out this journey allowed me to see many signs of your love, which i know will be never ending.
