Many years ago Gerry took a photograph of my mother and made a wonderful watercolor portrait. That portrait has pride of place in my home and has brought me much joy. I am forever grateful that Gerry shared her enormous talent with me.

When Gerry joined Temple Har Zion she & I became friends. We spent many happy hours hanging out. We viewed the eclipse at the Moorestown Municipal building a few years back. So many great times & laughter! Her surprise birthday party, encouraging her to date Charles when they met, sharing a trip to Harvey Cedars, hiking with Charles & Jamerica, so much more we shared both sad & sweet. Gerry will always have a place in my heart. Her memory will live on. Ina Z. Cabanas
