with great sadness, and godspeed

 


From the Caring Bridge website:
It is with deep sorrow that I must convey that our wonderful friend Gerry Reid has gone home to be with his God. Gerry was declared dead before 3 PM this afternoon. His wife, Mandy, has returned home to be with their children.

Gerry was an organ donor and his organs will bring others renewed life.

The family would like to thank all who have known Gerry for their tremendous outpouring of love and support. Gerry's legacy is the many amazing friendships he fostered and through these he will live on.

-Mark Turner


We add our love and support to Mandy, his children, and the entire family. Please keep the 9 p.m. vigil this evening as a tribute to Gerry and his incredible network of family and friends.

    Thank you Billie for all of your loving energy for Gerry and his family this week.

    Although his body is gone I could sense the healing for many souls this week with an outpouring of love, especially today. And I know that your efforts, those of the readers here, and many others, contributed to that.

    When I have more energy I'll write more about Gerry. We're all pretty exhausted right now.
