Matt,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I spent many times at your house with your mom and always felt very special to be included in your family. My deepest condolences to you...

My dear cousin Gerry, my Mom told me to call you Aunt Gerry but you forbade me because you were not that old, you were a spark of life! The day I was born you and Uncle Bob watched a White Sox double header (and my brothers) and then you ran off to go on a date. I remember the days you brought home Matthew, Chester and
Bruce. You called them your "butterballs". We all remember the day Maryanne was born and inherited our Busia's name. Your laugh was contagious. You talked my Mom into letting me take baton lessons at the park and came with us when we were in the St. Patrick's day parade. You and I sat together this last fall on a warm Indian summer day and just visited. Matthew, Chester, Bruce and Maryanne, I don't need to tell you what an amazing woman your mother was. I was lucky to have her as my cousin. My prayers and condolences to you!

Ginnie and I send our condolences to the family of Geraldine. As nieghbors of the Chester Radek family we came to know her and enjoyed her stories of her travels and Las Vegas. We know her memory will live vividly with you and there is a certain peace with her suffering lifted, and knowing that Thursday she touched the face of God.
