I am so sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. I have always enjoyed talking to Gerry so much. Everytime I saw her we always had a good laugh. She was such a fun person.
I still can remember when I was young and going to the apartment building on Chaucer and thinking wow this mom is so cool. And so was her mom. I remember Gerry had this really neat table that held knick knacks in it with a glass top and going home and telling my mother we had to get one just like hers.
Gerry raised two lovely daughters and was blessed with beautiful grandchildren. I know that she will watch over all of you in heaven just like her mom and brothers did before her.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I will miss Gerry a lot.
Pam
