Dear Roberta & family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your sister, Gerry. I worked with her at Pulaski and knew her children through the school system. I remember her as a warm and loving mother and friend. I lost my younger sister to cancer 2 years ago and my older sister 2 months ago. Sisters are very special people. I feel your pain. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
