So many good memories of Gerald.  From the chickens we shared and shared info on as my kids were growing up and in 4H (he always wanted us to raise geese as well - which I hated and never agreed to) but he did lead us to raise ducks and turkeys.... to I don't even know what all we have discussed through the years... our love of pugs....that was one.... your beloved Heidi and my beloved Riley.  The memory of the day we decided to introduce them to each other.... and how bad they were..... even though they totally enjoyed playing....I bet they met on the rainbow bridge and are playing with each other now.... I always avoided politics and religion because you always got TOO fired up on those topics.... but think we have talked to solve so many of the worlds problems and issues through the years.  You always made me chuckle, always made me feel good.... and I am so going to miss you.
