We were all blessed to have Gerry in our lives. She was a very strong-willed lady and a perfect match for Ed. She was a wonderful mother-in-law and I will always remember her smile and laugh throughout the many years I knew her. I know she is at peace now. Her memories will live on with everyone she touched in life forever. Prayers to the whole family.
