Dear Betty,Joyce and family,
We're so sorry to hear of Gerry's death (after all these years, I've called him Jerry, I never knew if he spelled his name with a G or J - "oy vey"). We send our love and deepest sympathy to you.We regret we could not be with you in person - both guests over the weekend, and late work schedules have interfered. Please know we are with you in spirit, and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Don and Carrie Miller

GreenDad, thank you for all of the times we spent together, from Rabon Ave to Pot-Nets to Treasure Beach to Robinwood. Most of all, thank you for the personal life-lessons and how to be a man. No one knows of all the private conversations we had, and, I don't know if you were ever aware of much impact you had, but, you helped shape who I am today. You have touched so many people, but helped mold no one more than me. I will always miss and love you, but, I hope you are in a more comfortable and peaceful place. With all my love and hope of a making you proud - BJ
