Dear family, I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I'll always remember Gerald as Coach Hebert. He was my first coach in Little Dribblers and I was on his team for 2 years. He was tough but a great coach and I remember him fondly. Please know I'm praying for strength and comfort for you in the days to come.
