To The Family of Geri Di Bartolo:



Never had an event happened at Resurrection Medical Center that was not handled by Geri and her staff. I cannot imagine having another event that Geri will not be there. Her smile lit up the room -- never did we have to worry about a thing when we knew Geri and her crew were handling our event.



Our prayers go out to you, her loving family though God has a new angel in heaven!

Dear Di Bartolo Family-

It has been many years since we have spoken. I used to live on Pontiac and went to school with Consilia. My maiden name is Kordiuk. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dearest Di Bartolo Family,

An angel was taken from all of us. Mrs. D was one of the greatest people we knew. She was a mother to all. Whenever she was around you couldn't help but smile. She will truly be missed.

My prayers are with you, Joe and your family.

I am filled with a mixture of sorrow and joy as I remember Gerry's dedication to her patients and colleagues. Her work ethic and her professionalism are a testament to her belief in a high caliber of patient care. She is a role model for us all.

I remember when she went to Italy with Gina [my daughter]. She was a fierce protector and wonderful advisor. She was our guide and our mentor. She will be missed. We loved her, and appreciate her strength and wisdom and her love for her family.

With sincere sympathy,

Linda Santacaterina & Gina

I knew Geri from the many years at the hospital. We spoke of many things in the Employee Health office. I considered her to be my friend. I will miss her smile and our talks. May peace be with those she leaves behind.

Mrs. Di Bartolo was like a second mother to me and my brothers and sisters. She was always willing to help us with any task. Her support meant so much to my family. Hearing her cheer at our baseball games and taking care of us at High school to make sure we always had something special to eat are just a few of the fond memories that I have. Although I never thanked her, she was a significant part of my life that will live in my memory forever. I will always remember Mrs. D. waving from her garden at me as I walked through my back gate. She will be sincerely missed.
