"Geri" was my friend and next door neighbor in NV, NY. & I 'loved her' as a sister. She & I and our other neighbor, Helen, have some wonderful memories of our dear, loving friend. We were fortunate to have her in our lives.
The Lord works in mysterious ways, as I was able to see her in the hospital on Monday before she passed on. She looked so 'beautiful' & we talked about old times. She was prepared to meet the Lord & she knew where she was going.
May the Lord strengthen ALL the family through this sad time. The loss of one's Mom and Grandma, and sister is great...and she will be missed by all who really knew her. "See you on the other side, Geri"! My love to you forever....
Your ole' friend, "Flo".

It is a sad occasion, but we know that Grandma is in heaven with her brother, Hank and sister, Phyllis and her parents, and most importantly, her Savior. I do wish I could be home to share in the memory and celebration of her life. Although I cannot, I find peace in the memories I had with her most recently, in the hospital and the conversations we shared.
