Geri was a social work colleague at UMC/ Shands Jacksonville from 1990 to her retirement. She was a dedicated advocate for patients, and a wonderful Southern lady. Cheers to a life well-lived.

Condolences to the family. I have search for her for years. She was so sweet and kind to my brother. She could reach him on his level. She was so encouraging to us, the family. She could get him to check in the hospital when we couldn't. Lord knows I searched for her. I really wanted to thank her. This has really broke my spirit. I just didn't know how to spell her name. May her sweet soul rest in peace. Will forever remember her.
