To all of Geri’s family,
I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Geri. My memories of her are of long ago when we were all growing up as cousins and spending time on holidays with all our families. They were wonderful memories and I hope YOUR memories of the good times you had together will help you in your time of sorrow.
God Bless you all and know I am thinking of you all and may she rest in peace.
Cousin Suzie Puskar (Repasi)
