Amelia, Rich and family,
So very sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. Gerry was a very kind, hardworking person, with a wonderful heart. He...and ALL of your family, did many caring things for my mother, Ethel, in Stockholm over the years and were wonderful neighbors for her. Gerry was always willing to help out. She spoke fondly of your family and Gerry often.
It is with great sympathy that I type this brief note. Our thoughts are with all of the family.
