Shannon, Fonda and Family,
I will miss Geri's fun personality. I know she is at peace now and I hope you find comfort in knowing that. Geri loved her family more than anything else in this world. Our weekly conversations kept me in touch with what the whole family was up to. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were some of her favorite topics. What a wonderful Mother and Grandmother you had!. You were all very loved and appreciated!. My best to all of you, Cathy Keeney
