Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss, Gerry was a great guy to be around and always made me smile. When you take care of people day in and day out it is easy to not remember them all but Gerry - no one could ever say that about, he made work fun and he was always a great pleasure to take care of. He will forever be in my heart! Deb Stelter
