I remember Gerald fondly. Susie and I would talk about him and when we worked at Chicken Little all the time. I can hear Susie fussing at him as soon as he got to heaven. I remember a couple of weekends that I would keep the kids for Gerald and Ms. Pat. I am keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am heartbroken for the loss of your dad. I was a classmate of his & we were friends & did everything together as young married couples. Once we had children & they moved to Kentwood we drifted apart but we continued to be close friends. He & your mom will be be missed dearly. Due to the weather I will not be attending his services but know my thoughts & prayers are with y’all. Love, Becky Ronquille
