We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Dear Mike and Family,
Words cannot express my feelings or ease your heartaches,however, I'm thinking of all of you and I hope that you are doing O.K. Remember that Gerry is still alive in your hearts and in your minds and the memories of him will give you comfort.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Gerry and being his boss for the past three years. It didn't take me long to realize that Gerry didn't need a boss. He always worked far above and beyond any expectations and was extremely accurate. He had a great sense for color and design which was an added bonus for my department. He will truely be missed by all here at Marine Home Center.
Love, Dana Jungherr

My heart goes out to you in this very sorrowful time. I did not know Gerald personally but am very personally touched by your loss. Mrs. Hayes... there is a wonderful support group that I belong called The Compassionate Friends. It is a group of bereaved parents that meet once a month.
