There are special people that God uses to show one that His hand has never left , nor will He ever. The richness that that person brings into your life is a small sample the riches He has waiting to pour over His children when our time comes... I have been so blesses to know Gerry for over twenty five years . And watched how he faced adversity and trials with steadiness that comes only from a lifetime of walking with our Lord. Gerry's was a life well lived , defined by integrity, honor and truth. What more can anyone strive for ..... Living a life that brings Glory to God !! See you soon my dear friend.....
