My deepest sympathy for the loss of Aunt Gerri. I'll always rememeber the times I saw her in the market & she'd always smiled & took the time to ask how "everyone" was doing. May she rest in peace!

Najarian Family:
Please accept our condolences on the passing of Gerri. She was always helpful with her kitchen skills and knowledge during church functions. In addition, Gerri visited the house after by brother Steve passed away in 2000 and when my father passed away in 2006. Her visit was a comfort to the family and will always be remembered. May she rest in peace.

Gerri was a frequent visitor to the Groden Greenhouse in the North Burial Ground. I will miss her spirit and tannacity! I will always remember the flowers for her monument had to be anything but geraniums! Mums preferred. Bye, Gerri.
