Dear Mr. Conran,

My thoughts are with you and Geraldine. I know that she is in Heaven now enjoying her freedom from illness.

I will keep you and Geraldine's family in my prayers.

Love,

Godspeed Geraldine, you were a fighter in life and right up to the end, surprising us all. I am glad for your happiness, especially this past year, despite your restrictions. With expressions that said more than words, you let us know how you really felt. You clearly expressed happiness laughing with Dad and all of us, showing eagerness to enjoy your visitors and gratitude for gifts and special treats. You chuckled at the antics of Charlie (my yellow Labrador) stealing your pillows and things, while you enjoyed Eddie (therapy dog/Labrador) snuggling in your bed close to you. I will always remember you pointing to your cheek for a kiss and giving me one back - that is your gift to me that set me free. You even managed to say "Happy" last September while on the beach during your vacation with Dad and family. Knowing you felt that emotion so strongly, was a gift to us all. So, it was a good year and now you are truly free, no wheelchair, no restrictions. One day we will meet again. I still need Dad here, I will take good care of him. With love and compassion, Jackie (step-daughter)

I was saddened to hear of Aunt Geraldine's passing. She was very fun loving and I always looked forward to her summer visits with her family. Having her visits with Elaine and Gail became a regular summer event. Although I have not seen her or the family for a long while, I will still miss her. My condolences to her family and friends
