Geri and I go back to her childhood days when she lived at home with Pat and Fay in Little Canada. Patty and I always enjoyed her happy go lucky attitude. Even through her physical problems she kept a positive attitude; always carrying the smile we all loved. Geri will be truly missed.
I remember when Jerri and Al came here for a visit and we took them out to Mom and dads and went swimming. She was so full of life. Brenda has her smile. My heart thoughts and prayers go out to you all. God bless
