Our sympathy to Jerry's family & friends. What a beautiful example of faithfulness to our God and Church. Your generosity of using your musical talents to enhance our
liturgies was done with such grace and reverence that it invited all of us to sing in a prayerful way.
Now you have joined the heavenly choirs for all eternity.
God blessed us with your gentle presence for many years..
Peace with gratitude

I was saddened to her of Jerry's passing. What an incredible woman!
She was a true friend to our Mother and family. I remember her days at our home growing up. She was always there for the big events in our life.
She will be missed.
She always wrote-"Know I love you all."
Know Jerry that we love you too.

I will never forget how good you were to me and my boys. I brought Matt to church, and put him in a bean bag chair. You thought it was great. Thank you for being there for me. I will miss you.

I am sad to hear you have passed Jerry. I remember when Sarah and I were kids, one of our stops for beggars night was to see you. You always showed love when we came over and I also will never forget playing Hoyle Card Games when I was over. That introduced me to enjoy playing cards to this day. You will surely be missed and I will never forget your kindness. Love-Michael

Jer,
The words "Thank You" don't seem enough. Thank you for all you have done for so many. Especially Thank You for all you have done for the Fitzpatrick Family. Thank you for being a wonderful friend for so many years. We will miss you so much. I really will miss our weekly game time! You were the best Farkle player ever! Until we see each other again, much love, the Fitzpatricks.

My sympathies to all of Geri's family and friends. She was a lovely lady. I knew her from St Peters... Where she led the choir for many years. She lived her life in service to others... May she rest in God's peace.
