Uncle Gervis, just wanted to let you know that we are still thinking of you. I will never forget that time that we were all at the Lake House and everyone went shopping are canoing. I had to stay back because I was 7 months pregant. I remember sitting out side on the deck talking with you, Mr. Joel, and Aunt Odette about when ya'll were kids. And how much you kept on tying to make me eat cause you kept telling me I was to skinny. And who can not for get the "out house". We all had good times and those good times will never be forgotten.
We love you!

Aunt Mary, I wish that I take away your pain but just knowing that Uncle Gervis is watching over all his love ones and is now able to look over and take care of all the ones he loved. There will not be a day that goes by that we will not think about all the things he has done or all the lives he has touched when he was with us. We love you.

If you have feel like talking just send me e-mail are just give us a call.

Love you,
Vanessa

Words can not express how deeply saddened we are by the loss of Gervis. He made the days brighter with his presence. Gervis taught me many life lessons and I am grateful to have been so lucky to be his friend.

David and family. I just heard the news this morning, and I've been thinking of you ever since. Your dad is part of my childhood memories from Kansas, and I remember in particular all the time he spent with you on your elaborate train set. A great dad, and I'm very sorry for your loss.
