To the Fay Family...please accept my condolences. Gerri and my mother were friends their entire lives. I was so sad to hear of Gerri's passing. I remember her when she and Mike would visit us in Brighton or when we visited your family in Mission Hill. They were so nice and friendly with my mother and father. I have very fond memories. My best to Mike, a great, funny guy.

Our prayers and condolences go out to Marianne, Michael, Richard, Brian, Rose, and Katha. And to our great Uncle Mike. Berri and Bumpa were with each all the time for over 60 years! They were a great team. Berri will be missed so much by our family, but we know she can now rest in peace. Love The Ganley Family.

P.S. Pray the rosary.
