Gerri was born Jan.26,1982 at Memorial hospital in Gulfport, Ms.  She had 2 older brothers that couldn't say Gerri so she was called Sissy. She was 16 years old when she lost her life in an automobile accident on July 20,1998.  She was a very loving, caring girl that loved life and always wanted everyone to be  happy. She was full of life and energy. She was my baby and  my only daughter and the hole her death left in my life and my heart will never heal.  She wasn't just my daughter, she was  my best friend. We talked about everything.

If tears could build a stairway,

and memories were a lane,

I would walk right up to heaven

to bring you home again,

No farewells were spoken,

No time to say Good-bye,

You were gone before I knew it,

and only God knows why,

My heart still aches in sadness,

and my secret tears still flow,

What it meant to lose you

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!!
