My condolences to Colleen and family. I am so glad that my friendship with Gerald led to our crossing paths again in Dallas. It had been so many years we hadn't seen each other but my trip to Dallas with my family and his visit brought back memories and laughter of our growing up on Washington Street. Family stay strong and steadfast and know that memories of Gerald will always remain in your hearts and minds.
The Clayton family
