Sincerest sympathies to all of Gerry's family- Gerry was, indeed, a very sweet and caring person. We worked together for a few years at Heath Village and Gerry was a devoted nurse.
Gerry was also a friendly and kind neighbor.
May God's mighty grace surround you all and bring you comfort and peace.

Although perhaps only somewhat of an acquaintance of the family.. I offer this Bible verse which I know holds true : book of 1st John chapter 3 verse 2, 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. May God bless you and keep you Geraldine, and your entire family, In our new glorified bodies... we shall be like him... so we rejoice...Amen.

I will miss you now, you were the sweetest aunt a girl could ask for! If I am sad, it’s a selfish sadness, as I know you out with our Lord who few I have seen love and cherish more than you! You are now with all of our family that has gone before you and I know you are rejoicing! I love you always and will see you soon again Aunt Geraldine!!
