Peace... prayers... patience... understanding. I wish you all of these.

Gerry - always unforgettable in all that he took on - and what about that crazy laugh? Memories flood of Philly, Europe, Cape Cod, bikes, cars, music, art, mates...

Danny,

I am so sorry to hear about Jerry. It was such a surprise, what I remember and admired most about Jerry is that he lived and done everything that he wanted to in his life with such ease. Whenever I would see him at one of Aunt Lynn's affairs, he would be the center of attention with all his amazing stories. I enjoyed hearing about his adventures so much, I am sorry that I was not able to attend the service, My Grandfather passed away Tuesday morning suddenly and I certainly know what you are going through now. I hope your Mom is Ok, she must be devastated right now, but she will be OK. For someone so tiny she is so strong! She raised 2 men all by herself and has done an amazing job! It's funny though Whenever someone mentions her, I immediately think about how good her milkshakes were! I remember riding my bike with Allison a few times a week to get a milkshake from her. I have never had a milk shake like that since. I hope your pain eases and through all the tears and questions of why try to smile a lil, remember how fun he was and how he had amazing stories. My prayers are with you and your Mom, Take Care
