Jane and family: I was sad to hear from my cousin Greg about the passing of cousin Gerald (our joke was that I called him "Uncle Gerald", which drove him nuts, but we hugged and laughed each time I did it!). I always enjoyed our time together, and was so grateful for him taking my Dad (Jack Shoebottom) out for breakfast regularly. Dad enjoyed their time together until unfortunately his dementia changed his personality against everyone, including Gerald. Sending you all a big virtual hug from me and my husband!

~ Roberta Fox (Shoebottom) and Stephen Lawson

Words at this time seem so inadequate. Please know, Jane and family, that our hearts go out to all of you at your loss of a great husband,father, grandfather and friend.
