Peggy and girls,
Larry and I are so sorry to learn of your sad news.
I pray that God will give you peace and comfort in the days to come and that your memories will bring you joy.
I think of Gerald every time I look at the old typewriter he sold me at his garage sale and remember the girls growing up on Roselawn Circle.
God bless you all.
