So sorry for your loss, Geri was a wonderful lady I met her when we attended church together a few years ago. Always kind and very fun to visit with.
Sorry for your loss Mark. Grieve well my friend. Praying for all involved with this loss .I’m attending another memorial service the same day in Puyallup for a friend who just recently lost her mother. Hope you’re doing well considering all things.
I’m thankful to have know Gerri since 1966 and was close to the blended family through your formative years of worshiping together at Preston Baptist Church. I sorrow with you over the loss of my friend, your wonderful Mom. Sending love to all and hope to see you Saturday to honor her at the Memorial service.
Love you so much I miss you Aunt Gerri. Rest in peace with the Lord.
