To the family,
It is so very difficult to let go of someone who has been so much a part of all of your lives. His spirit lives in all of you and beyond. Be comforted in knowing that he is happy and in a good place. A place where familes are rejoined and embraced. My deepest sympathies

My heart is so heavy for you and your family since finding out about your husband's passing. I am so sorry.

It would be hard to find a more wonderful man than Gerry Oliver. He proved this every day of the 8 years I worked with him at the T&G. And oh how he loved his family! I remember how excited he was when he had a star named after June. Gerry was committed to his family, his faith and his supreme work ethic. What a privilege it was to know Gerry Oliver.
