We had a lot of laughs and Gerry knew how to keep it light and enjoy what we did - working at Queen of Heaven Cemetery. He also taught us to "get the facts". I'm sure I speak for all of us who loved him.
We'll miss you Gerry!

I will always remember the smile on your face Uncle Gerry. I pray that you are happy now, reunited with all your family and friends in heaven. I pray for your family on earth to carry on in your absence until we meet again. I also ask that you pray for us from your heavenly home. In JESUS name. Amen

Peace be with you. Mr. Cahill taught me how to be an altar server. This had a huge impact on my life. He was a good man.
