Gerry will always be remembered by me. I miss the wonderful talks we often had. She had a beautiful smile and spirit that I looked forward to when she came into the bank. Her daughter Deidre took such wonderful care of her whenever they came into the bank, and I was so proud of her for showing such love and giving such great attention to her mom. I thank God that Gerry was my friend for so long, and know she is now resting in peace.

To he Family of Gerry Pratt:
I was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of your mother. My condolences to all of you. Gerry was a friend who had a beautiful smile every time I saw her. I was one of her bankers at Pullman and Park National Banks in the l980's and 1990's and will cherish her memory always. She was loved by everyone at the bank. My prayers go out to all of you. Peace and Blessings.

Dear Diane,
What an honor for my daughter Brenda and I to have known your mother. We shared our sisterhood in AKA. Her smile and gentle and engaging manner was embracing.
My condolences to the rest of the family

You were a second mother to so many of us. You watched over us, kept us from trouble, wisely guided us, laughed with us, shared your home, family and delicious meals with us, helped us as we entered adulthood, defended and scolded us, but most of all, you loved us. And oh, what a difference you made in our lives!!! Aunt Gerry, I'm going to miss you very much! You meant so much to so many. We will forever love you and delight in your spirit.
And to my dearest Pratt Sisters, I share in your sorrow now, but know that she is not gone, but simply in pure spiritual form. God bless you all.
