Thanks to family for all of the laughter at "our river"! Enjoyed camping at Chincoteague & Knobels. Loved dancing more than life itself. Loved playing canasta & other card games at the Riffles. Found it as a blessing when was able to help someone when needed!
Take time to see what's still free - the rainbow, redbirds, the Fall leaves. Let the snowflakes fall upon your nose and the wind blow your hair. Focus on what you have and what you can do. Let go of the past and move forward. Love one another as He loved us!
Services will be held Sunday, December 15 at 2pm at Morningstar Family Church, Albert Staub Road, Thurmont. Family will receive guests for a time of fellowship and sharing at 3pm at the Thurmont Event Complex on Strafford Drive, Thurmont.

I remember going to Uncle Walter's and Aunt Jesse's when we were little. And if Gerri was there she was always the life of the party. She and our sister Joyce were a lot alike. I often thought of them as being twins. Even through her bad days Gerri always had a smile or a joke for you. Her presence will be surely missed, but the memories of her will be with us forever. Rest in Peace, dear Gerri
