October 25, 2022
This was taken on our last visit with Aunt Geraldine. She always had that beautiful welcoming smile. Hers was a life well-lived , always following in Christ´s footsteps. No matter her age she never retired from working for her Lord and helping others find their way to Christ. Our hearts are deeply saddened by her passing. So many memories of our families spending vacations together on the Ky. Farm. Much love and prayers to all the family from your Aunt Rudie, cousins Winston and wife Brenda, Rita, and Jan and husband Mike ( not pictured.
