Gerard Phelan was not know to me, but I do recall his mother Peg. She as her devoted son, was a practicing Catholic and shared their love of Christ with others.
Thanks to Gerard for his many years of service as altar server at St. Agnes Church. This weekend I will remember Gerard and his parents at celebration of the Mass. May he rejoice at seeing the face of God.
In Christ Jesus,

Worked with Gerard for 8 years at Cantor. A better human I've not met. Kind and helpful, even in the midst of his own trials. Gerard will be missed.
