Oh my what a shock, can't believe we will no longer see that smile and hear that laugh...We have many fond memories with 'the Gerns', that will never be forgotten. Praying that God's healing touch will comfort, support and strengthen the Gern Family now and in the days ahead.

With Love, Ron & Margot

Pat,
Lorraine and I are in Florida and just read the obituary of Gary's death. It is a sad day for everyone who was touched by Gary's personality and leadership. His smile always lit up the room and he gave so much for the people of South County. You can be assured that our thoughts and condolences are with you as you go forward.
