I worked with Geri's husband Charlie and family over many years. Geri was a lovely person who cared deeply for her family. Every year, the first Christmas card I would receive would be from Geri. I will miss that. My deepest sympathy to the family.

The little while I got to know Geri while helping to care for her I found her to be an amazing woman who love God & loved singing. She often ask me to pray for her!! She was such an inspiration to me because she never complained about her condition & said she was ready to go home & be with The Lord. Once after praying with her with her twin brother present, she ask me after I'd finished praying if I had told God to hurry! Which I then answered no Geri but he's preparing a place for you to which she replied well, He's taking too long!! She will be missed but to her devoted daughter in law Gay(who took such good care as a daughter) & her son Larry know that she left here but she left a forwarding address & you shall see her again!! Praying for you & your family!! Shirley Nicholson
