"Gerald you will truly be missed. All these years you have been a very kind, careing, neighbor as I was growing up. You weren't a stranger to nobody. I will miss seeing you and Max on the side by side-by-side. You dropping by to see if I'm ok or needed anything. Now you can visit with mom and dad, let them know what had been going on. You earned your WINGS.
