I just read of Gerry Ann's passing. Her dad and my dad were first cousins. We all spent good times together growing up and lost contact after getting married and starting our own families. It was a great time and left fond memories. My heart goes out to the family. LaNell Holmes DuBose

Gerry Ann was one of the sweetest, loving, caring persons that has ever been graced to me by God. Funny, quick witted, smart as a whip, she always made me feel loved and part of the family. My dear cousin, I know how much you loved the people left behind, Jim, Tanisha, your grandchildren, your sister, and all the rest of us, but I also know you are free, happy, and watching over all of us. Just perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but the light of our loved ones watching down over us. I will never see the sky the same, your light will always shine bright. Susan Haynes, cousin

Mom,
This just made it to real. My heart is broken. I wasn't ready for you to go. I know you are free and in no more pain. I know heaven is rejoicing. I love you big as the sky.
