We are so sorry for the loss of your dear mom. Gerrie also loved to sing and we were fortunate that she sang in the Foothills Lutheran Church choir for a short while. I loved talking "birds" with her! She was a lovely lady and she will be missed. We now have one more angel watching over us. May her memory bring you peace and joy.
