Not sure what to say?

I enjoyed the times that Gerald and I talked about things we had in common. Our kids and their differences, our jobs we used to have, our medical problems, our ideas of other people and their way of thinking.... LOL
Our last phone call, lasted awhile discussing medical issues and their outcomes. It was an interesting conversation with him and he had a lot of knowledge, there was definitely a connection to what he was saying. He and I always seemed to discuss things that made each...

We are thinking of you 'All' and praying for your family during this difficult time. I met Gerald while working at the Senior Garden in Bridgeton. We have known each other for several years and he was real nice to me and other people. Gerald and I became friends, we had long talks, learned things from each other, and laughed about things together. I will miss my good friend and the times we spent together. "Tony"

Thinking of all of you during this transition. Katrina, your dad was so happy and kind when we met him.

Gerald,,, My cousin who i grew up with. as a kid we lived about 8 city blocks apart. my and his family would do trips together to our grandpa's farm.. we were real close as children till age 12 when my family moved to the county,,,,then we saw each other at least once a month.. GOOD TIMES .... GOD Bless..

I always remember Jerrys wife, Thanette talking about Jerry when we worked together. Thanette would say that Jerry liked spending time at the Bridgeton Community Center, he loved working in the garden with his cucumbers & tomatoes, Jerry was a handyman that could do a lot, and he had to keep busy. Prayers for Thanette, their children, grandchildren, and family. Love, Hugs, & Strength during this difficult time. Love, Diane

Thanette,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending my thoughts and prayers for you and the family.
