Three weeks ago today I was over visiting Aunt Geet & Uncle Terry on a nice sunny day. I brought her over a fruit arrangement with strawberries dipped in Chocolate...one of her FAVORITES! She pulled one out of the arrangement and ate & enjoyed it! We had a wonderful time talking.... especially about the NASCAR race that is going on in Brooklyn MI; as her favorite driver was Jeff Gordon.... XOXO

Terry, Geet was such a delight to be around. I met her in the 80's when I worked for MDA. Ray and I were very sorry to hear of her passing. Many times we thought about you and Geet and how much we enjoyed her company.

Terry, Amy, Brandi and Family,
I cannot believe it. It seems only yesterday I came to your house as a refuge from my nutty kids and you and Geet would let me in. One by one my three kids would come knocking on your door and ask if "my mom was there"? Geet would say "yes, come on in". After all three of my kids were there - Kelly, Brian and Kris - I would say it was time for me to leave and go home, leaving my 3 at your house. Geet always thought that was funny. She had such a contagious laugh. I will miss her so. Even had the chance to work near her when we both worked in the same State building. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was such a sunny and outgoing person. Geet added a lot of cheer to my life.

I was so sorry to hear of Geet's passing! I was an underclassman, but EVERYONE knew the Graham family. I specifically remember Geet's zest for life and her laughter was unique and absolutely contagious! May you rest now and be in peace forever and ever.

Terry, I am so very sorry for you and your families loss! I just found out yesterday! Geet was such an amazing person. I remember the first time I met her, we both were working g for the State, her personality just lit up any room she entered and I just immediately felt a friendship! I am proud to say I knew her and loved her very much! We had so many fun times together and memorable ones! I thank GOD for those times with her and with you both! I just want you to know even though I can't be there physically (I'm in Alabama) my heart is there with y'all and my prayers and caring surround you all. You all were the loves of her life, her heart, her pride and joy and she adored you all!!! Again, I am so sorry for your loss, all of our loss, but always remember that she is and always will be with you all...her love is that strong that she will remain watching over still! Love to you all from the bottom of my heart!

I remember many great memories with Geet while growing up in Haslett and graduating from High School. For many years Geet was my closest friend. She was a wonderful person and I always loved her genuine laugh. May God comfort and bless her family, she will be greatly missed.

A beautiful tribute to Geet. I will always remember her smile, and the laughter during our bowling years; hers was infectious. I know how much she loved her family, and that will be her legacy as you all pass on the love she shared so deeply. May you all find comfort in the wonderful memories that you created together.
