July 5, 2013 at 4:47 amI would like to express my sincere condolences to the family. The loss of a love one brings much grief and agony, but there is so much comfort that can be found in God’s word the bible. The promise of a resurrection at John 5:28, 29 and death will be no more at Revelation 21:3, 4. Taking in true knowledge of the true God and his son Jesus, assures us eternal life. (John 17:3)

It was always a pleasure to visit with Gerald – despite life’s adversities, he had a smile on his face, a cheerful disposition and a warm welcome for us – happy to have chat and pet the dogs. He is one of those people you meet in life that you won’t forget. I will miss him on our visits – please accept my sincere condolances.
