Gerry, originally from Iowa and residing in Indiana, expressed how discussions about relocating to South Carolina had been a recurring theme during his family gatherings. Remarkably, Theresa revealed that her son already lived near Charleston.

The couple, each with children and grandchildren, envisions creating a welcoming space for their extended families. Theresa shared her hopes for a warm home with a pool, making it an inviting space for visits from their children and grandchildren.
“We want to have a house that’s so inviting that everyone would want to come. Maybe a pool so they all want to come and have fun,” Theresa said.
The pair’s children, merging into a newfound family, are eagerly anticipating spending time together. Gerry shared, “Our daughters, they’re like sisters now,” a sentiment echoed by Theresa, who expressed gratitude for gaining “two more sisters.”
