    We are so so sorry. Beautiful Childhood Memories of you all as our wonderful loving Friends and Neighbours.

    I would always enjoy catching up with you randomly Gerard down the street in our later years, or tooting the horn when I would pass you and Greg as you were pumping out the K's around town. Such a beautiful decent gentle man you are Gerard.

    You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

29. Gerard
    We lost touch over the years
    But that doesn't lessen
    The flow of our tears

    It's circumstance that keeps people apart
    But a memory lives on
    For you, in our hearts
