Bob & Billie: Although I didn't know your father well, Robbie and I did enjoy our times together at the Community Center and the VFW. Such a sense of humor. You're so lucky to have had him for so long. He will be missed.

To Vicki & Don & Drew and Family
Our heart felt sympathy to the entire Gerlach family during this difficult time. Hearing the news of Pap's death made us very sad and we will have a Mass said in his honor. Special prayers go out to Mom as well. We love you guys.

To the members of the Gerlach family from Paul & Margaretta's granddaughter, Paulette (Flynn) Esposito and their great-grandchildren: Fr. Charles Esposito, Juleen (Esposito) Madera, and James Esposito, please accept our sincere sympathy and assurance of prayers for you. A mass shall be offered for Robert (Bob) at Saint Sebastian Roman Catholic Church in Belle Vernon, Pa. as soon as it can be scheduled. Within the week you are invited to inquire about the date of that mass by contacting the church. May God bless you with a strong, faith-filled sense of God's presence at this time, the God of Mercy and Love.
