Rest in Heaven with your loved ones. You carried on through enough grief for a dozen moms! You were one of a kind, authentic and spoke your mind! We went through all 12 years of school together, laughed and consoled each other too. Even as your growing family and Gerry’s work took you far from our hometown I know you kept up to date and in touch with so many of us. I feel SO glad to have had a long, final, phone conversation with you just about 2 weeks ago. Thank you Gerry, for being her sweetheart and loving caregiver. She is forever in my heart.

You were the strongest person I have ever known. You kept your head up and shoulders back through many difficult events. You had a heart of gold with a touch of spice. Will love and look up to you always.

My dear sister Lulu, You always said you were #1. Did you really have to prove it by being #1 to ” fly away “? Now it is up to you to fluff our clouds, shine our halos & remind everyone in heaven that you have 2 sisters arriving when God calls them. Give Mom & Dad hugs & kisses … all of our loved ones too. You have always been a true big sister to me all of my 76 yrs. Dearly loved … Liza #2,.
Nancy, My ‘oldest’ and dear friend…we go back to 1964. Even though there were many miles between us, we kept the friendship alive. Gerry and Nancy took time to drive from their home in North East to see me when I was visiting in Cleveland in 2005. We went to lunch and had not seen each other for over 40 years! Precious memories go back to our meeting in Texas in 1964. I will always love and remember Nancy for the loving and precious friend she has been to me.
