Not sure what to say?

Hello :). I'm not sure if you will get this message, but my name is Julie Brooks. My husband, Mark Brooks, owned SignCraft of Oregon and I just found a bronze plaque that says A Rose for Geraldine Tripp Leiman 1919 - 2017. I assume it was to be installed at the U of O and am not sure why it never made it there, but I would be happy to save it for you if you are interested in it. Thank you!

I first met Geri when I began working for the American Cancer Society over 7 years ago. She was always so sweet, kind and loving. She generously gave her time to so many women each week who were going through cancer treatments needing prosthesis and/or a wig. Sometimes Geri would spend over an hour with the women and she never complained. She showed such love and empathy! Those women were very lucky to have had Geri on their side.
So Geri, thank you. Thank you for your many years of love...

Geri was certainly one of a kind. I have fond memories of our childhood visits to Santa Monica and the dreaded rattlesnake, the possum in the pool or whatever it was, and of course the more recent family reunions. Here's letting the family know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love to all.

Aunt Geri was always so warm hearted and welcoming. Always a smile on her face. You could not help but love her. I had deep respect for her- a true classy lady. I know there are no words to express your loss but keep her memory close to your heart. I know how much she will be missed. Much love to you all. Deb Mink and Family

Geri was such a sweet soul, always kind. May your memories of happy family times comfort you. We will be with you in spirit...and send you a heartfelt HUG, Love your cuz, Sandy and Scott

A long life, well lived. My heart is with you in this time of sorrow. No matter how inevitable, this is always so hard to get through. Hope you all find peace, and may the memories all be cherished. Love you.

Kind thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time of grief. May your fond memories bring you comfort. God's promise at Jeremiah 29:11,12 will give you strength.
