"Gerry, Was so sorry to hear of Ricki's passing. You know I love you both and miss you so much. My prayers will be with you always. So many good times we all had at the bowling alley. Will never forget those wonderful times. Take care and remember she is in a better place now with our Lord Jesus Christ. Joanie Beat and Jamey"
