My deepest condolences to the Gerald Eaton family. I only got to visit Uncle Gerald and our family at Christmas time during my childhood years, and then occasionally as an adult. I remember his quiet smile and his love for drinking warm Dr Pepper! On the years we had snow, he would lead the horse so that all of us younger cousins could go for a sled ride. I also enjoyed hearing Uncle Gerald and my brother, Bill, reminiscing their childhood experiences and laughing together. RIP Uncle Gerald.

Sure will miss that old man and the cookouts parties at the barn! .. ms Dru was my first client as a PCA here. They made the mileage worth it to be able to visit with her and Gerald (after his trip to town), and weekend visits for a "social life" ... 😥🙠Prayers for the family for I understand the pain and sadness! Though I am looking more and more forward to Heaven 🥰
