Dear Gerry,
Can't believe it's been ten years since you left us. I remember that day so clearly but it's too sad to recollect so I've been thinking of some wonderful memories of you instead- your Prof Higgins bit, sneaking into the box seat section at Shea Stadium, hearing rap music for the first time in your orange VW bug that worked for a week, making sandwiches at 2 AM, your childhood red hair, your smile, playing the ukelele, your poetry, 86th Street and Fusco, fun times with you and Boss. Every experience with you was a special adventure- you were one in seven billion brother! But we miss the adventures that should have been. You were so loved and are so missed.
Lots of love today and always,
Beth and Chuck

Hello my love, miss you every day and love you all the time. As I'm sure you know Jim Morey is now up with you and I want to make sure he knows all the ropes in Heaven. I know the two of you will be able to chat about fishing, boating, the camp and all those things you both love. Keep an eye on him and Ginny. Think about you every day. Your loving Wife... xoxoxoxo
You are always remembered.

Hi Gerry, We speak of you often and are sad that we didn't have more time together. We saw a young hipster playing the ukulele and I complimented him and told him that my brother plays a fine ukulele. He said "Someone gave it to me when I was busted up so what else was I gonna do?". I thought that your sense of humor would appreciate the exchange. But suffice it to say that there are signs of you everywhere and I look for them at every opportunity and smile. Love to Mom and Dad-
Love and miss you,

Sweet Gerry,
There is so much joy that comes to mind thinking about you and your special talents and your unique personality, but also there is much sadness thinking that you aren't here to share in life's pleasures and to fulfill your dreams of the life you had in store.
I am so grateful for the wonderful times that we shared and for every breakfast and laugh that we spent together. There will always be a tattoo on my heart indelibly inscribed with your name.
Love always,
