Our sympathy to the Green family. We have just learned of Gerrie’s passing, and may
God give you all strength in this time of need. I’m Robert (Bob) and am writing this on
behalf of my brother William (Bill). We are first cousins, Gerrie,s mother and our father
(John Zook) were sister and brother.We haven’t seen much of each other in the past
few years, but do have alot of great memories of the many Zook reunions we attended
for several years. May she rest in peace, and God bless you all.
I didn’t know Gerri personally, but I’ve heard many kind and wonderful stories about her. Debi, may God give you and your family the strength you’ll need to get through this sad time.
