My condolences to the Selzers and all the relatives. I remember Gerry from his high school days at St. Patrick's Academy. Gerry went to school with my sister, Mary Patricia, aka "Hessie." May God grant the grace you need as you walk through this vale of tears. Heaven is becoming more and more populated by the alumni of st. Patrick's Academy. May God grant Gerry and all the alumni eternal rest and may God hold you all in the hollow of His Hand. God Bless!
