Gerri was my cousin. Even though we lived far away from each other, we always kept in touch through cards and letters. Her last to me was for Easter. I replied with a lenghtly letter. She was indeed a kind and gentle soul. She administered to her sister Bernie during her illness and missed her terribly when she passed. Now the twins are in heaven with their mother and father and other family members. Rest in peace Gerri. You will always be in my prayers as I hope you will be able to intercede to Jesus for me and my families needs. love, cousin Grace

There is a new angel in Heaven. There are no words to adequately express the admiration, gratitude and love I feel for Gerri. She cared for my beloved Cioci Eleanore while my Aunt lived at Nanticoke Villa. Gerri cared for Cioci and all the elderly in her care as though they were her own parents; and Gerri was so loved by them all. Gerri gave and loved with her whole heart and soul, and would take NOTHING as extra compensation or gifts. Once, I wanted to give her money for a 'perm' as a Thank You for all she did for my Aunt, and she just would not allow it. All she ever asked for was....you guessed it: prayers. Gerri is surely at God's right hand....rest easy, faithful servant of God, the elderly and the sick. You have earned your Crown in Heaven.
As one last favor, please hug my Cioci for me. You will never be forgotten, Gerri.

Gerri will be greatly missed at Park Towers where she lived. When she was working at the Villa she was a very compassionate caregiver. She took care of my in laws at Nanticoke Villa and was always ready with a kind word and smile. At Park Towers she lived a few doors down from my elderly mom and she always was checking on her and just being a very caring neighbor and friend. My mom will miss her very much. Gerri was a very special person. Please accept our sincerest sympathy.
