Not sure what to say?

My name is Carole Gerard Yerrick. Judy was my cousin. I am so sad we lost track of her and Gordon over the years. We had the same grandma and her dad was my uncle. I would like to get in touch with someone maybe Gary to talk to. If someone could call me at 231-929-0267 I would appreciate it. I live in Traverse City and am 82 years old. My sister Jo is 88. So sorry I did not contact them before.

Marcy and Matt, I'm sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. I hope the two of you, the rest of your family, and your mother's friends find peace in fond memories of her. Peace to you all. xo

Gary and family. Very sorry for your loss. Even though we didn't see one another lately, I know she will be
missed by all the family and her friends.

Sorry for the loss of your loved one. Remember all the good times over the years an the memories will be with you always. Prayers for all. Audrie Polhemus

My prayers are with the family and friends Mike I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you all and know she is in a better place...

I am so sorry for your loss. May Gods peace and love comfort you along with all your memories. Sending hugs.

I wish to send my condolences to Judy's family. I was so sorry to read of her passing as she and I were cousins. Her Grandma Gerard and my Grandmother were sisters. I hadn't seen her in a couple of years but we always had a good talk when we did come upon each other when shopping for flowers or incidentals. May the peace of God be with you all during this sad time.

I wish to express my condolences to my cousin Judy's family. I will miss her.


May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
