To Gerard Family,

It was a pleasure to have a new family move into the neighborhood in the early 60's. Gerard and Vivian bought a large house with a barn and plenty of land to accommodate their family and their lives. I was so lucky to have a warm family like the Fortin's living in the neighborhood. May Gerard's spirit live long in his family.

Sincerely,
