Gerri was our golden girl. We don’t think there will ever be another wife, mother, grand/great-grandmother and friend on this earth who doted on her loved ones like Gerri did. She lovedanimals and her dog’s “Lady” were the luckiest of all. She loved to cook, bake, fish, golf, shop, play cards and even rode motorcycles! She will be remembered for her epic food spreads, pasta and meatball dinners and jazzy style, but most of all the love she had for her family and friends. She will be missed dearly by all who were lucky enough to know her… until we meet again on the other side.
