"I'll always remember the fun times we shared growing up in Brick. All the sleep overs we had at Gerry's house. Going to all the parties together and just enjoying our teenage years. So many beautiful memories.
To all the children, grandchildren, and especially Bob you are in my prayers. She was a wonderful human being. My deepest condolences to you all.
