Gerry was always in my life as far as I can remember!. She was always smiling, singing and laughing. She was a great influence as what a good Christian woman was supposed to be. She inspired me with her class and the first woman who I knew who went to work out side the home. She had the patience of a saint, and survived her trials with grace. A very beautiful woman inside and out. My second Mom. I will miss her dearly. Love you Gerry
