Sorry to hear about Geraldine's passing. She was a very kind lady. I always remember Geraldine watching Johnny Carson at night. I learned to really enjoy watching his television show through Geraldine. I am sure she is at peace with her guardian angels looking over her children. God bless. Becky Cozad Schreiber

I knew Gerry from working with her at Hallmark. She was a wonderful kind person. The thing that impressed me most about Gerry was that she always had a kind word to say about everyone. I never felt that she judged anyone unkindly. Her radiant smile will live on in my memory forever. You will be missed dear lady.
A dear Friend, Brenda Warner
