1975 was a very hard year for the Hickman family.  It is the year we lost Gerri to cancer.  Gerri passed away on 9 April 2005 and was laid to rest at Green Hills Cemetery, Palos Verdes, California.  Gerri's full head stone reads Gerri Hickman 8 Jan 1953 - 9 April 2005 - Beloved Wife, Mom, Daughter, Sister & Teacher.  We miss her terribly and the only solace we have is that she is no longer in the pain she suffered through fighting cancer for over 4 years.
