Pat,
I wish I had the opportunity to have gotten to know Gerald during the last year here at West Vue. Your daily visits were sunshine in any weather for your dad and the staff. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and your family and bring you comfort.

We were blessed to know Gerald as a neighbor and friend. Appreciated his wit and charm. He is exemplified in his precious daughter, Pat. There are never enough words to express the loss of a parent/friend/neighbor. The heart and mind never forget. The legacy of smiles, love, and kindness are invaluable. Gerald will be sorely missed, but greatly remembered.
