Dearest Mel: Believe it or not I'm just today hearing of Gerrys passing this past April...I lost my baby sister as well earlier that month...no excuses but I can't begin to tell you how very sorry I am for the loss of your soul mate...So many couples aspire to be as compatible as you and Gerry were... The love between you both was genuine.... Again...I'm so sorry for you and your family... I hope you are doing well and enjoying the memories of what was true love... one love beyond compare... sincerely, John Matanes and sons
