I have such fond memories of working with Gerre as our decorator. We built our Williamsburg style house in 1985. She was the glue that held everything together from start to finish. In January of that year, we were travel companions on a trip of a lifetime, traveling to England to purchase furniture and accessories for this new house.
After 32 years we are selling our house and all the furnishings this week, but the beautiful memories of Gerri's effort and excitement will continue to live in my heart.
My sympathy goes to her family! May you know how much she meant to me in an exciting time of our lives. Blessings to you!

It was always a highlight to our day when Jerre would scooter into apt 312 at Bishop Spencer to see Drolette and Ted, who I'm confidant were a part of the welcoming committee alongside Alvin in heaven! Jerre is a one of a kind and was generous in so many ways. Her quit wit and knack for story-telling made her lots of fun to be around. Many lifelong memories have been shared by our families! We loved and will greatly miss Jerre! Amy (Wiedeman) and Mark Thompson
