Aunt Ray Dell, Kathy, Linda and all the family. I love you all.
What a comfort it is to know that Uncle Gerald is a wonderful man of God and is in the arms of Jesus right now. Our separation from him is made bearable because we know it isn't forever.
"When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be."
