    Gerry was my sister in law and one of the sweetest ladies! Every holiday, without fail, my and her mother in law Betty would receive the most beautiful
    Flower arrangement. She always participated in xmas gatherings long after Ron passed which was an example of her family values. It was evident that she adored her grandchildren. So sorry for your loss John and Katy. Much love.

  9. A pillar of love to the Habina and Snee family. Gerry was in our wedding to be with her bestest friend, Karen A. Snee (dec). Of course who could ever forget those days at Denny’s. Rest now Gerry, and know we will miss you, but pray that you are well and at peace.
