Aunt Gerry was a loving daughter to her parents, a loving sister, aunt, wife and friend. A shining light of happiness, joy and love to all. She was full of life and genuine love and caring for all. Gerry loved music and was the ultimate Beatles fan growing up and went to see the Beatles at Shea Stadium with her mother, I can only imagine how happy she was to be there. When I think of Gerry I think of the Beatles and in particular the song “all you need is love, love is all you need”
She was the example of selfless love for others. She made this world a better place and she will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Uncle Kevin and all of Gerrys sisters and their families. May she Rest in Eternal Peace.
