I worked with Geri for many years at the former Saint Paul Convention & Visitors Bureau. Geri was a true Saint Paulite and a very classy lady! Because of Geri I know how to drive the streets of downtown Saint Paul- Geri loved people and people loved Geri!

Sorry to here of the passing of Gerry.
She was a wonderful woman.
I was lucky enough to work with Gerry at the Civic Center when she would come in and work the High School Tournaments and the many conventions.
She would always greet me with a hug and want to hear how things were going.
She was truly a gift to all that met her.
She will truly be missed.

My sympathy to your entire family. I wanted to share a fond memory I have of Gerry (I am Linda Roeller, daughter of John and Dorothy Kotnour). When I was in Girl Scouts, I so vividly remember your mom teaching our troop some songs for a Christmas concert. And, one song I will always remember is "Put Christ Back into Christmas"; I have never heard of that song any place other than when your mom taught us. I hope you have many other wonderful memories of your mom.
