Neddie, Marlene, David and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Gerald's passing. My childhood memories of family reunions at Mommee and Popoo's house on Plank Road include Gerald and all of us cousins having such fun running around the property playing together. When we were young, all of the cousins spent a lot of time together while our parents boiled crawfish or fried fish or just visited together. All of you will be in our thoughts and prayers as you deal with the loss of Gerald. He was a very special person.
