Geraldine Lopes Obituary

I wasn't ready to let you go, I wanted to keep you here with us until I saw the pain & suffering you were going through, I knew it was time for you to go home w/God - and so my dear friend I will miss you and think about you often, but I'm glad that now you are at peace.

Aunt Geri was my Godmother that did so many wonderful things for me that I will always be grateful. I have a ton of memories of her while I grew up. The hand made Christmas gifts, which I still have that Tiffany style lamp hanging up. Every holiday with my cousins,the smell of ham infusing the house while she and Uncle George always had the fattest and best Christmas tree. She was kind and generous and had a beautiful smile and laugh. Old family photos of happy days in Mom and Dad's home sitting around the basement bar as all the family did...singing till the wee hours of the night...of course that was usually Uncle George & Uncle Joe. You can't replace those memories with any times better. Those really were the days, when all of our family was together. Those times are always in my heart. Aunt Geri meant more to me than I can explain. Now she's my new guardian angel along side with my Dad. Love and hugs from your flower girl, I will miss you forever.

Dear Lopes Family,

May your minds and hearts reflect on all the laughs, meals and other wonderful memories enjoyed with your loved one. May the God of peace, comfort your hearts right now!
