Donna, Evan, Dean and families. It is with deep sadness that we read of Gerry's passing. We shared an Aunt and Uncle with Gerry-Ivan and Agnes Barker. I spend many of my childhood summers at Ivan and Agnes's home and worked at the Drug Store when I was in high school and college. After Ivan and Agnes's deaths we did not continue to visit Sandy so we had lost touch with Gerry. Our hearts go out to you.

Dear Evan and Family
I was so sorry to read of your Dad's passing. He was a dear man and I always enjoyed hearing about his family when we had dental appointments at the same time. He was very proud of all of you.
