Dear Kenny and family,
We are very sorry for your loss. Many memories of your mom's time at New Life with all your siblings. She understood commitment,and it wasn't too much that kept her away, including a long ride up the NJ Parkway. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Joan and John Pollina

Geraldine as I recall is a great lady with a sweet spirit but most of all fervent in her faith. I'm sure she is with the cloud of witnesses encouraging us all who are still in this temporary world to focus our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

When I met Ms. Geraldine, she lived in Freehold and was making almost a two hour commute to church in Teaneck. She was always one of the first members to arrive in spite of the distance and the fact that she came with three or four teenagers. She was conscientious, enthusiastic, kind and generous. She was an amazing and marvelous woman. She sure shall be missed. Our prayers and condolences to her children and the entire family.
