To the Schweiger Family - We offer our sincere condolences on the loss of your husband,father,and grandfather. I was quite surprised and saddened when I saw the obituary. Gerard taught me alot when I worked for him...and I always held him in high regard. I will miss his smiling ways. May knowing that he is in a better place bring comfort to all of you.

Dear Suzana, My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father. It is hard to lose a parent as I have lost both of mine. I 'm certain through my own experience that your wonderful memories with your Dad during your childhood and the memories that were made throughout your adult years will help you through the days ahead. Take comfort in knowing that he will live in God's Kingdom forever. Tevis (Bradel) DiMascio
