My sincere condolences to the Valenti and Miley families, and to all his loved one and friends. I have often wondered how Mr. Gerard was doing. My dad, James Tetterington, was co-workers at LSU with and good friends with Mr. Gerard when I was a little girl. I remember him coming to the house and visiting with us many times. He was always so kind and always laughing. I wish him and my dad could have reconnected. My dad passed last February, so I understand the pain of losing someone you love. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you navigate this difficult time. I pray that the Lord will bring you all comfort, strength, and grace during this time.
May the Lord bless and keep you,
Candace Tetterington
