Joe and Jeremy-
I saw Geri each week at hospice to visit and pray with her. She was so grounded and full of faith, and her love for her husband and son was abundantly evident. Although for only a short time, I feel blessed to have known such a wonderful lady. She was so thrilled to go home and I hope that her time at home was special for all of you. She will be with you always. My prayers are with you -- Terri Noble

Geri was my first boss out of college, and, although we only worked together for three years, she made a wonderful and lasting impression on my life. She was always kind, upbeat and fun. She dealt with people with an easy grace and genuineness that I've rarely seen since working with her 17 years ago. I visited her in the hospice and, not knowing what to expect, was a little nervous. Geri immediately put me at ease, complimenting me and telling me that she was feeling better and still had hope. I've learned so much from Geri and am forever grateful.
