Bruce, Trever,and Nich...My last memory of Gerald is of him choosing  a chocolate from a lovely box Nich brought to his Grandma for Christmas.  There were so many yummy looking ones that we all had a hard time choosing. As I recall, he had just eaten a big helping of peach cobbler, too. I guess he had a sweet tooth just like the rest of us.  Let your good memories help you through this awful sadness. Love, Aunt Joyce
