George, Terri, Randy....we pray the Holy Spirti is giving you comfort at this time of Gerri's homegoing. Gerri was one of the sweetest ladies we had the pleasure of knowing. She was a vibrant and loving soul, a true Christian. Wish we had not been away these years so we could have visited like old times.
Sending many prayers and much love to the family.

I am very sad to hear of Aunt Gerri's passing. She was always so sweet and would tell me how much my great grandmother loved me. But what a joyful reunion it surely was in heaven. I will be praying for Uncle George and the rest of the family in the weeks to come. Love, Nichole
