My deepest sympathy and prayers to Gerri's Family in the loss of their wonderful mother. She was a very special person and shared many happy memories of the wonderful times she spent with her children. I will miss her great sense of humor and beautiful smile and I feel so very priviledged to have known her. God Bless you all at this difficult time. Fleurette Workman

To Bonnie, and all your brothers and sisters.

I am sorry I can't be there with you. Rest-assured you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember your mom out on the dance floor at Melissa's wedding and the HUGE smile she had on her face. Your parents are together again and looking down on all of you with tremendously pride.

Love,
Ann Annunziata
