I enjoyed knowing Gerry through the years as a member of St. Francis and the Woman's Club of Wilmette. But most of all we spent numerous Thursday mornings at the Ridgeview through the years. She had such a genuine laugh. Condolences to the family.

Sorry I couldn't make the wake. My family knew Jerry and Robert. My dad was the Honorable Judge Charles P. Horan, chief of the First Municipal District. Also, I enjoyed Jerry so much in choir. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As a child, I was in absolute awe of my beautiful, very accomplished Cousin Gerry.

As the years passed, the 13-year age difference melted, and as adults we related more like loving sisters.

I am very grateful for both phases of our relationship - a blessing indeed to have been maintained across both such great time and distance.

Hers was a faithful life and so well-lived. Gerry is now with God. Just imagine the joy!

I send my sympathy, love, and gratitude to her beautiful family, whom she loved so much and of whom she was so proud.

Bless you Dear Cousin you are with me still...
