My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Potter family. I worked with Gerri at Gentex and have many fond memories of her over the years. The thing that sticks out the most is the love and pride in her voice when she talked about her family and how much you all meant to her. May you feel God's love surrounding you all. Nina Hyma
