    So sorry to learn of Gerry's passing. I worked with her many years at B&D, but have known her most of my life as I went to school with Dedra. We bowled in the B&D league together. She was a fine woman who dearly cherished her family. She will be missed.

    Cousin Gralen, I think of your mom and smile. To me she was always welcoming and eager to extend her love. I can only imagine your sadness at this time. Many loved ones have already welcome your mom home.
