    Gerry was one of the kindest, most optimistic people that I have ever known. It was a joy just to be in her company, and she was an inspiration. Heaven gained an angel today.

    Dear Ray, Darren & Jeffrey
    Having known Gerry since childhood we can feel your pain and share your sorrow. Know that she is now in a better place seeing her Lord face to face, and re-uniting once again with her mother and father. After all she has been through these past months it is comforting to know she once again has that big smile on her face that she will always be remembered for. We send our deep regrets for being out of town for the celebration of her life. Our Love and sincere condolences to the entire family.

    While Gerry’s battle is over, the finest memories of her are not. I will always remember what a fun, kind, and so very sweet person she was. How we would laugh and look forward to those “bunco ” nights with the girls! Such great memories that I will always remember. May you rest in peace, dear Gerry,

    Ray –

    I did not have the pleasure of knowing Gerry personally; however I know the man she married and spent her life with and that is enough for me to know she was a woman of great value. The physical world is a lesser place without Gerry, but I know that she is with the comfort of God is a far better place, yet I know that does not diminish your loss or the emptiness you are felling. Please accept my deepest heart felt condolences. May the Lord grant you strength and comfort as you mourn the loss of your loved one whom the Father has now gathered to himself. You will remain ever in my thoughts and prayers.

    May God Bless you

    Ray and family,

    I am very saddened by the news of Geri’s passing. I met Geri while we were going through chemo. She was a great source of inspiration and hope for me. She always had a positive outlook. I looked forward to seeing her each week. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

  11. Robert Fiorita says:

    Ray, Darren and Jeffrey,

    I’ve known and loved your Mom since she was born. I truly have not known a person more pure of heart than she. Gerry always reminded me of Annie, her Mom. When my sister shared the news, it truly came as a shock. We will keep all of you, including Alan and Jim and the entire family in our prayers. Wish I could be with you in person to offer my support. Gerry is now with Mom and Dad, her Nana, my Dad and the rest of our extended family that preceded her into the next life. I will always cherish my memories of “gerrydine”!
