Kathy, Roy Dean and families,
I am so sorry to learn of Gerry's passing. Uncle Pete would have been very proud of all she did to share your lives with Granny. I know those times when Gerry would bring you over to the house to visit Granny-well, that was the highlight of Granny's days. May Gerry rest in eternal peace that she deserves for a life well lived. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
