4 years 6 months later, she´s still on my mind and in my heart. It seems like it was only a short time ago, that we were having our normal chat, while she smiled so gracefully and laughed at the funny punchlines in our conversations. It´s a strange notion to still feel her warmth and pleasant presence, but in the physical she´s no longer here. Missing her still....

To Stephanie and Family, my sincerest condolences for the loss of your mother Gerry. When I saw you over the holidays, I had completely forgotten that she was your mother because Gerry and I were friends when we both worked for the City of Gary. She was always such a joy to spend time with and will be sincerely missed.
