God bless the most wonderful woman I have ever known. You are my Mom, my hero, my best friend, my role model, and now my guiding light. I thank God everyday that you are my Mom. I love you more than anything, and I will miss you every single day. I can only pray to have your strength throughout my life, and I will live to make you proud. Godspeed Mama.
Dear Gerrie you gave all your energy to be here with us but I guess Jesus had other plans for you. I will miss our disagreements. The one thing I will always stay with me is when you said why is a cup of water on the hamper? I said it was for Fluffy. Her comment was oh for Christ sake. I laughed my butt off. I will truly miss you. I will miss playing Sorry with you. You are now in peace. No more pain. I will love you forever. I will check with Niki to make sure she is OK. I will think of you everyday Gerrie. Love you. We will be together again someday. R.I.P.
Dear Aunt Gerrie,
I will forever cherish your remarkable soul, my dear friend and forever neighbor. You have touched our lives in profound ways. You brought laughter and light to our lives with your lighthearted nature. From the days of playing next door as a little girl to the recent years of cherished letters, your warmth and easygoing spirit will be missed.
You sure had a rare gift for making people laugh and creating an atmosphere of joy. Your ability to connect, whether through childhood adventures or heartfelt letters, made you a cherished and loved friend.
As I say goodbye, I will always remember you for the laughter you shared and the kindness you spread. I will always love you Aunt Gerrie!
With heartfelt condolences.
