Ashley, I'm sure you will miss Gerald and it will be hard. I'd like to share a verse that helped me through the death of my son years ago. "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand saying, Fear not; I will help you" Isaiah 41:13 Trust in God and He will be with you. Tell Lexi and Quinn "Hello" for us. Love you
