Dear Siggy, Cary, Charlie & Family:
With heartfelt sympathy I was very sorry to learn of the passing of Gerrie. It is never easy to lose a wife/mother especially one who was loved so much. Gerrie is now looking upon the face of God and has become your Guardian Angel watching over and protecting you and your family. May God bless her soul.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
