So saddened by this news. I have the best memories of Gerry - always smiling, so friendly and always interested in what you were doing. I saw firsthand that she was a spectacular wife and mother. I spent a lot of time at the Wilson house as a child and loved being around Joe and Gerry. I think Beth and I probably tested Gerry's patience at times -- but she surely seemed to have an abundance of patience - and wisdom! I'm sure she will be missed by her family. I know her smile, her kindness and wonderful memories will live on those who knew and loved her. Hugs to the Wilson family.
