Dearest Aunt Geri-
You are greatly missed. Although I'm not able to be with the rest of my wonderful, loving family at this difficult time, you're in my prayers and beautiful memories. I wish you could have been with us longer, but I know that you are now exactly where you wanted to be. God will welcome you with open arms as He has done for the rest of our family. We all love and miss you so much, Aunt Geri.

Geri,

You showed me what "The hand will always be there" really meant. You welcomed me from day one and were always kind and friendly. Thank you. You will be missed. May you rest in peace.

Aunt Geri will always be the unique person that every family should be honored to have and love. She impressed us all at her early age and continued to impress us all her life. Take the ups with the downs and the ups win every time. She will be missed and loved by us all forever. Have a toast with your Mother, Father, Sisters and Brothers while we celebrate your life with us.
