  1. What a wonderful person Gerry was. Her visit to Missouri was unforgettable, Branson was a hoot. Gerry had the kindest smile and an awesome heart of gold. Will truly miss her.

  2. We are just heart broken about the sudden death of my cousin. Geraldine and I would talk often on the phone for hours something I surely will miss.

    A Silent Tear 💧

    Just close your eyes & you will see all the memories that you have of me. Just sit & relax & you will find I’m really still there inside your mind. Don’t cry for me now I’m gone for I am in the land of song 🎶. There is no pain, there is no fear so dry away that silent tear 💧. Don’t think of me in the dark & cold for here I am, no longer old. I’m in that place that’s filled with love ❤ known to you all, as “up above”

  3. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
    She was a wonderful lady with a beautiful soul! May she RIP.
    God bless Geraldine and God bless her family and friends. 🙏🏻
