To Jim, Karen, Patty, and Geri Kay, and all of Gerry's family...your Mom ALWAYS had a smile on her face, and was such a sweet lady! I don't recall her ever having a bad word to say about anybody. Although this will be a very difficult time for all of you, let the great memories you have of your Mom live on forever in your hearts. Rest in eternal peace Gerry.
