Angie, we are unable to attend the visitation or the funeral. Ron is currently ill. However, we are planning to attend the internment at Crystal. There are no words to tell you how sorry we are for your loss. You had some good days before all this tragedy took place. We hope those good days can give you some peace in time.

Thoughts & prayers to Angie and all the Clemen family. We have many fond memories of Gerry growing up, especially when he and his siblings were little. Mom always enjoyed their company. Then there was the good old hay making days and all the b-s ing that came with it. Rest In Peace "dear sweet Gerry." We now have another Clemen Angel watching over us. We will miss you.
