I don´t know how grateful I am to have you as my friend. Take care me like your daughter. Let me stay at your house every weekend to teach me English.
Without your help, I won´t be able to complete my study at Penn.
I miss you so much, but I know how happy you are to join with your lovely Mr. Gerrow.
Love,
Jenny Chen Chung

We had fun working together at the Dental School. She was a great lady and full of laughter. Rest in peace, Mary.

My sincerest condolences to everyone in the Gerrow family. I worked with Mary at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Dental Medicine, Orthodontic Department for many years. Mary was always quick with a smile and so full of life. She had the most wonderful laugh and a heart of gold. I can only imagine how happy she is to be reunited once again with her beloved Tom. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God Bless!

Our condolences to the Gerrow family. We lived around the block on Concord, and my mom and Aunt knew her since she was a girl, and my Aunt Anne went to school with your mom, and she always had fond memories of her. Your mom and dad were two very kind and funny people! She always had a funny story to tell about her kids and grandkids whenever we would run into her! I know how happy she must be now reunited with Mr. Gerrow!
