    My sincere condolences to Elizabeth, Elke and Cleo. Gerry was a wonderful neighbor who was always helpful. I cherish having known him and appreciated his very good humor. He is a man who has definitely touched many hearts in his lifetime.

    Liebe Elisabeth,
    Es gibt eine Zeit der Freude , des Glücks, eine Zeit beisammen zu sein, eine Zeit sich zu trennen, eine Zeit der Stille , eine Zeit des Schmerzes, der Trauer und eine Zeit der dankbaren Erinnerung.
    Wir sind froh Gerhard gekannt zu haben und werden ihn in guter Erinnerung behalten. Unser aufrichtiges Mitgefühl gilt Ihnen, Elke und Cleo sowie der gesamten Familie.
    In tiefer Verbundenheit und in Gedanken bei Ihnen.
    Hannah , Heike und Karlheinz Breuer aus Roetgen
