I will always remember Geri's hearty laughter when we children performed at the Glicken family Hanukkah parties. Her face filled with the widest loving smile when Candy, who was about three years old, wowed us all with her singing debut. Geri made us each feel special. She even bought a painting of mine when I was in my second year at the Art Institute of Chicago. If I could freeze a memory, it would be the glorious weekend at the beach house at Lake Michigan where there seemed to be enough beds for the entire Glicken family! How generous Geri and Earl were. How full of fun. I loved them dearly.

Love,
Cousin Susie
