Dorothy "Gerry" Arboleda

Just happened upon a video yesterday that Gwen sent me a long while back with Gerry and my dad. They were mostly discussing how they loved to be on tape with good humor of course. How ironic to receive an email today offering me a chance to share another memory. My memories of Gerry always make me smile.

Thinking of all of you. I wasn´t around Gerry much since we moved away when I was a little kid, but as an adult we connected online and she gave me pointers on carving and painting. She was a true Angel. Love you.

Thinking of you today as you celebrate Aunt Gerry's life. She was amazing in many ways and will surely be missed by all that knew her.

I will forever cherish Aunt Gerry´s memory. Even though our families rarely had a chance to gather, the times she was able to visit my parents while we were also visiting and the visits we made to Oregon will always be special occasions in my heart. It didn´t matter that we were distances apart, when I talked to her it was like I just saw her yesterday. She always had a craft to show us or teach us, and she has given us many of her amazing pieces of art. She sent me a card once her only...

So very sorry for your loss. I, and my sister, met Gerry when purchasing her wonderful Santa´s over the years. Starting at Savage and ending with the last bazaar at Good Shepherd. She was a wonderful, loving and funny woman. I love and treasure each and every Santa and think of her every year when I put them out. May her memory be a blessing.

So sorry for your loss. I, along with my sister, have purchased so many of Gerry´s wonderful Santa´s over the years. Starting at Savage and continuing until the last Bazaar at Good Shepherd. Love and display them all every year. I will treasure the memory of her and the love she put into each Santa.
