I was so sorry to hear of Geri's passing. I have fond memories of her from St. Laurence when I would hang out there with my Dad as a little girl and she would give me little jobs to do to keep me occupied. Your family is in my thoughts & prayers. May your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.
