Monticello, AR Wednesday, December 2, 2015 Dear Ann, You and your family have my sincere sympathy at the loss of Gerald. I have memories as a child seeing him around the community and at the Greenhill store when he was a teen. I would see him playing basketball at the old Greenhill Schoolhouse with some of the other community teens. I pray for God's comfort as you adjust your life without him.Hazel Potts
