Gerard, I'm positive where you are you feel nothing but happiness, but I hope that you can feel how much you are loved and will be missed by all of us. There's a saying that "People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel." It's so true. I remember you always smiling, always saying something kind & then something funny, & always ready to give me a BIG Gerard hug. I felt good and happy every time I saw you. That's what I think about every time I think of you. That's what I'll miss. Let your family know that you are watching over them now. May God bless & Jesus carry them during this difficult time. They know they can call me for ANYTHING. Miss & Love You Always, Cousin Lucy

My heart is torn, my soul scarred. I have known you all my life. Through the years we have laughed together, played together, and cried into each others arms. From Kansas to St.Louis the seven of us have shared many good times and experienced our shared of tragedy and sorrow. Now we are six and I am heart broke. My days are filled with thoughts of you and the things that bind brothers together.Mom and Dad aside, I think I shall miss you the most. My brother, when this world is done with me, we will meet on the porch of heavens gate, give each other a hardy hug and be forevermore bound as brothers. Gerard, you will always be in my heart and a part of me.Love you always and forever, your brother, James.

To The Morales Family,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, in your time of grief. Growing up in Ferguson, Gerard and I were as very good friends. Although we lost contact after graduation, we would still run into each other and laugh about the old times. He was a good person, and he was my friend.

My hope is that you will find solace in knowing that he is in a much better place now, where he can never be in pain again. Time heals everything, in fact it is the only thing that ever will. Believe and trust that fact!
