Sharon, Johnny and Laurie and Marilyn,
I'm so sorry we all have to say goodbye to Geraldine so prematurely and unexpectedly. Life can be cruel sometimes and this is a reminder to us all of how easily it can be taken away. May we all honour her memory by living our best life while we have it, being compassionate to those in need, enjoying the beauty of our surroundings and welcoming opportunities to still laugh. These are all traits that come to mind when I think of Geraldine and I'm so grateful that she was a part of my/our family. I will always remember her as one of the first role models of a strong, independent woman in my life, and am grateful for that influence as well.
And while I wish I had had the opportunity to see her more in later years, thanks to Facebook, we were able to connect quite a bit. Particularly over anything to do with animals and certainly any time I posted a picture of Mom, I think she was always the first one to send her love.
And much like her sister, our Nan, it's evident just how many friends she had, regardless of their age or circumstances. I hope you are all able to take comfort in knowing she gave and received so much love and has touched so many lives. She will never be forgotten.
Much love to you all...
-Laura
