My prayers go out to the family of gerard.

Not sure if Gerard's family look at this anymore. But I went to NY for the first time in 2009.

His family is always in our prayers.

As I stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.
