Aunt Gerry led a life that most can only dream of having. She was wonderful and such a personality. She is now at rest and with all of those she loved and loved her through her long and wonderful life. Her stories will live on through us all and will always be in our hearts. Sympathies to her family and her extended family. God bless all who knew and cared.
Your niece,
Regina Golden-Schorr

Denny, Our sincere sympathy to you and your family. It was our pleasure to have known your Mom; and what a lady she was! I thought I was full of endless stories, but with her many years well lived, it was my pleasure to sit and listen to all of the stories she had to tell. Her and I sat on your island swing many times and talked, and talked... (imagine that) Her stories were very interesting of her many accomplishments. I respected her as if I was sitting there listening to my own Grandma. I can remember her telling me how I made her laugh; I remember those times well.
May you find some comfort in her memories during this tough time.
Our thoughts are with you.
Your friends

Condolences to Denny and the rest of the family. Thou I have been gone from Pittsburgh many years, I could never forget Aunt Gerry. Her gregarious personality and constant laughter is etched in my memory. Her devotion to the care of her parents was greatly appreciated by our branch of the clan. I was greatly touched by the fact that she never forgot who I was and would communicate every year at Holiday time. She was a classy lady. Her life is to be celebrated as she did more living than most of us ever will. I am sure she is getting ready to tee off in that great golf course in the sky. I hope she is pairing with my father, Elmer, and giving him some pointers. What a lady, what a life. She will be missed and remembered. Another piece of my past is gone, and i am lessened by the loss. Bless you, Aunt Gerry. And bless your family. Say hello to my dad, and grandma and grandpa.

Thou many years removed from my Pittsburgh existence, my memories of Aunt Gerry are still vivid in my mind. Her gregarious personality and seemingly endless laugh is forever etched in my mind. Her life is truly one to be celebrated as she lived life to the fullest, as few of us have ever done. Her devotion to helping with the care of her parents was always appreciated by our side of the family. Her never forgetting my existence will never be forgotten and I will be forever grateful. Truly a classy lady. I know she will be "teeing" off soon in that golf course in the sky. Mayhaps she wiil give my father, Elmer, some pointers. Condolences to Denny and the family. You have lost a one of a kind lady. The world is a little emptier today. Bless you Aunt Gerry and thank you.
