Geraldine was a great friend to my parents, Charles and Dorothy Shaver. Ray and Geraldine were life long friends to my parents. Geraldine was there for me when I lost my mother and again when I lost my Dad. Her loving and caring attitude lessened my grief. She was so good at making folks feel special. As we all know, "death" is not the enemy and I am proud to know her life was a living testimony of a christian wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her caring ways will always be remembered.

I was so sad to hear about Ms. Geraldine this morning. I had the pleasure of getting to know her and Mr. Ray some years ago. I was the "drapery lady" that helped her with her home in Forest Hills. I will always remember the advice she gave me about my family and the times we shared our life stories.
