 Condolences to Rosemary and to all the children and grandkids on the loss of your dear Gerald.  He was my dad John Fitzgerald Ryan's baby brother, and a pen-pal of sorts in recent years when he wrote a family history and reached out to "long-lost relatives."  He'll be missed, I know!

i feel so lucky to have known Gerald and his lovely family. He has left quite a legacy!

Que en Paz Descanse
Mary and Miguel Espinosa

I consider it a blessing and a privilege to have known Jerry Ryan. He was a very accomplished man, humble, kind and exemplary in every aspect of life. He was loved and will be remembered affectionately by everyone who had the good fortune to have known him.

I have such fond memories of the Texas theme parties Gerry and Rosemay hosted in their lovely home for their Scottish guests.  Gerry spoke fluent Spanish and, for many years, was the only Texas attorney also licensed in Venezuela.  I feel privileged to have known Gerry and Rosemay.  Gerry's intellect lives on through his children.  God bless the Family.  We are all praying for you.

I am friends with Kathy Norberg and her family, and got to know her father. He was very much loved by Kathy, and she misses him very much. My heartfelt condolences to Kathy and the rest of the family on their loss.

Dear Rosemary: I am so sorry that I cannot be at the service I have an obligation at my Church just at that time. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Love
Mary (Mary Metz)

Prayers and comfort for all!  He sure left you all a lot to be proud of. What a great man. Love from Wayne & Lily Norberg

Rosemary and Jerry were friends of my parents, Rose and Ben Greene (both now deceased).  One of my favorite memories was the 4 of them, along with several other couples, taking turns hosting and attending dinner parties . . . the women looking so elegant and the men, so dashing - not what we 'kids' normally saw on a daily basis - but loving the 'date-night' change in all of them. . . laughing and having such a good time !  Precious memories are cherished treasure.  Susan Rhoades (oldest daughter of Ben and Rose Greene).
