To the HUGHES FAMILY:

My prayers and condolences go out to you. So sorry that I am just now extending this, but I DID NOT KNOW Gerrie had "gone to be with the Lord." Living in Pittsburgh, I occasionally check the on-line Post Tribune and learned of her passing.

Gerrie and I were good friends at Roosevelt and after graduation as well, before I relocated. She was BEAUTIFUL; BOTH INSIDE AND OUT!. Such a "sweet" demeanor and always loving and kind.

I pray that God will give you peace in the days to come and that you will cherish her memory, as will I.

God bless

Ms. Geri was truly beautiful person inside and out. As a young girl, my mom took me to Irby's on 11th avenue to get my hair done and there I met Ms. Geri. Prayers for strength and comfort during this difficult time.

To Greg and Valinda, I was saddened and shocked to hear of your mom's passing. I just saw her last year at Vivian's homegoing wow, but anyway God is still good even in death, I have sat where you are sitting now. All that I know is that absent from the body is present with the Lord, God Bless, Bernadine McGhee
