This Sunday I went to a memorial for my cousin Gerry Kay Talton who passed away on September 15, 2009. Afterwards I thought that I would like to share some pictures I took of her with family from my photo gallery. I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave comments below or in the photo gallery.

I’m so sorry to learn of Gerry-Kay’s passing, but I’m glad to have found your blog. Gerry-Kay was especially helpful to me in my early years of recovery. We’d talk and laugh into the night, sit in Dupont Circle and people-watch, and generally hang out. She taught me that there is fun to be had in recovery. I left the Washington, DC area in late-2001, and while Gerry-Kay and I stayed in touch via email for a while, we lost touch after a few years. Gerry-Kay was the cat’s meow and I’ve never forgotten her. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
GERRY KAY AND I WERE GOOD FRIENDS… I HADN’T HEARD FROM HER IN A LONG TIME.. LAST TIME WAS WHEN SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL…ONCE I CALLED AND SHE WAS NO LONGER THERE.. I WAS AFRAID TO HEAR… BUT FINALLY A GOOD FRIEND ASKED IF I WANTED HER TO FIND OUT AND SHE FOUND THIS MEMORIAL….. I AM SO SAD TO THAT SHE IS NO LONGER HERE AND MISS HER, BUT IF ANYONE WILL GO TO HEAVEN, SHE WILL.. I AM SURE SHE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY PEOPLE.
I AM MAKING A PICTURE MEMORIAL TO HER IN WEBSHOTS I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND ME USING SOME OF YOUR PICTURES…YOU CAN USE ANY OF MINE ALSO, IF YOU DON’T HAVE THEM…. WHEN I FINISH I WILL SEND A LINK…
AND I THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL MEMORIAL OF OUR GOOD FRIEND, GERRY KAY. I KNOW SHE WOULD LIKE IT… WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, GK… ~MARY~
Hello, I’m so thrilled to find something on Gerry Kay! She is a friend of mine that I have known since I was 16, over 20 years! I learned she was in the hospital, and I visited her several times, she was then sent to a nursing home or long term care facility and I lost her after that. I tried like to devil to find her but no luck until 2 weeks after her death. I hold the previous property manager of her apt responsible for that since he never returned my calls. I’m very upset that I was never again able to see her. I’m desperately hoping someone will contact me. She was my friend.
