I just found out the news of Gerri's passing. We were Tap Dance buddies years ago and just reconnected again as I went back to class. May she be doing time steps to her heart's content and shuffle off to buffalo on her way to the Gates of Heaven. Rest in peace my friend

It was very sad to learn of Gerry's passing. I remember how she cared for her mother and how BOTH were very active in volunteering for the Arts & Crafts events at St. Mark's Church.
May God grant her a well deserved PEACE.

I only saw Gerry a few times in the tap class that I started this year but I remember watching her dance, as I had been away from tap so long, and saw that she was so good. Coincidentally, I found out this week that she lived three houses away from me. Unbelievable that I never saw her there. I wish I had gotten to know her because she seemed like a wonderful person. My deepest sympothies to the family.

Very sad to learn of Geraldine's passing; she was a fellow "homeroomer" and could always be counted on for a smile. Gone too soon. My sympathies to all her family.

On behalf of President/Chief Administrator David Eustis and the entire Northwest Catholic High School community, I offer my deepest sympathy on the passing of Geraldine Luksic '69.
Geraldine, her mother, and her cousins Jim Dionizio '65, Peggy Dionizio Arseneaux '66 and Northwest Catholic Board Member Gail Dionizio Lonczewski '71 are all cherished members of the NWC family. We share the Luksic family's grief as they mourn the too-early death of their beloved daughter, cousin and dear friend to many.
Please know that we will remember Geraldine and all her family in a special way during our daily prayers this week and also at our next school-wide Mass. We are so very sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of Geraldine's passing - Whenever in CT and at St. Mark's Church - I would intentionally sit near her so that I could share a hug after Mass.
