Kirk & Teresa, we offer our sincerest condolences for your loss. May the many memories of your Mother provide comfort now and in the future.
Gerry was a great lady. I was the Life Enrichment Director at Legacy when she moved in. She always had a kind word to say about everyone and was so so much fun. She had many friends who she played cards with and Gerry engaged in numerous activities. We all loved her. She will be missed immensely. 🙏❤️❤️❤️
We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Gerry! Mom and I visited a few years ago at Heritage when mom was still able to get out easier! Our sympathy to you and your family! I have many precious memories of time spent with your family. On behave of Irma Senteney and family!’
Sorry for your loss
Dear Kirk and Family,
My mom and I send you our deepest sympathies. Gerry was a true friend and wonderful lady. She was the first person we met at Legacy over 3 years ago, and she continued to be a friend ever since. Her strength through her trials, will never be forgotten. My mom and I will treasure the friendship with her, and you, especially in these last months. It was truly a blessing to have met Gerry on this road, and we’ll miss her.
