I was saddened to hear of the passing of your mom. I enjoyed working with Geri at the Highway Patrol Academy. She was a very nice lady. Incidentally, she talked about her kids all the time.

Our thoughts are with her family at this trying time. I remember her smiling face and jovial demeanor when we worked together at the Academy in the 1980's. Beautiful person.

Im so sorry for your loss.Geri was more than beutiful, she was beauty.When we traveled in europe together she being the ultimate lady fit right in , but Rick he was like a fish out of water there.When my mother passed away, Geri came and comforted me ,and said I will be a mother for you,NOW behave yourself,im keeping an eye on you.I can hear her voice saying that. RIGHT NOW Rick is so happy to be with Geri-- He is saying to her dont answer the phone ! I know these are very tough times ,and i love you kids.When i went through with the very same, i realized that during these tough times your best friend now is 2-things GOD and time.I then had to get all upset again when i did the math that Im next in line !!!!
