Peter and family- We were so saddened to learn of Geris passing. The last few months had been indeed difficult for all. Geri had an infectious smile and her style from head to toes was always glam! Her cooking was delicious! We are so glad that you hosted the Penthouse Party as that was a special time for all ,and one to be remembered fondly . Please accept our sincere sympathy.

I got the call from Mike saying that his mom passed away and it broke my heart. I've known Geri for over 35 years; she always had a smile on her face(just like her picture). She was fun to be around and I'll always remember the many times she made us all laugh. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear about Geri. We met in the mid 70's at DCC and spent many great times together. She taught me how to make Irish Soda bread & we spent many hours drinking tea and talking. She was an amazing gardener & her yard was magnificent. Your family is in my prayers.
