Gerry's Carrot Cake

Back in the early 80's I brought a Charlotte County card game to Saint John "63"
Because it is a partnered game needing four players it was a struggle to obtain regulars. Judith introduced me to Gerry and we began a weekly card night which lasted about a year. Gerry introduced me to this carrot cake and I have been hooked since.
A few years later I had the pleasure of working with Gerry's beautiful neice Veronica. Reconnecting with her on facebook I was told of and saddened by Gerry's untimely passing.
