I got the recent picture above of Gerald and
these two pictures below from his mother, Frances. Mrs. Sappington
is in the Columbia Manor with my mother-in-law, Irene Janes. Frances
and Irene sit together for all of their meals and my wife, Karen takes
Frances our Tribune every day. Frances wanted to share these pictures
with us. She is very proud of Gerry's family and him. He is
still Gerald to me and his mom, but he was known as Gerry to his family
and friends. The pictures were taken in late 2003 and were on her
2004 calendar in her room at Columbia Manor.
The granddaughter in the middle was born
shortly after Gerald's death.
