Very saddened to learn of Geraldine's passing. I will always be grateful for how she, Wayne, Michael, Shelly, and Mitchell allowed me into their home during the summers and made me feel like one of the family.

Shocked and saddened to learn of Geraldine death. Will always remember the fun days of camping together with the camping club. She and Wayne were great folks. Rest in peace together.
