So sorry for your loss. Your mother, wife, was a delight. There was never a dull moment when she was around. My parents had some of the best times of their lives in the company of “Jack and Gerry”. I think her picture must appear in the dictionary next the entry for “fun!” Thirty five years ago, while visiting in Akron, she presented me with an “engagement gift”, of a pink kimono robe, and I was so touched. We didn’t have any kind of engagement party and it came out of the blue. But that was her, thoughtful and generous. I can only imagine how much she will be missed.

Let me express my love and prayers for Gerri and the Picchetti family. I have the fondest memories of Gerri from my days as pastor of IC
and her regard for me. Two things come to mind. She gave me the most beautiful Christmas music box one year. Every year as I pull it out,
she Is fondly thanked in my life. The other was her participation in the cast, as a nun, of The Sound of Music. She and we had such a good
time and her family threw her the best post show party. God Bless

Dear Chris, John and family.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Gerri was a wonderful inspiration for all of us. I remember Christmas at your house and Jerri was always full of love and laughter. May the memories of her youthful heart and soul ease the sorrow of her passing. Love Lynda and Bill
