My Sister has always been there for me. Besides helping take care of me and my children while my husband was sent overseas to being the one who introduced me to my husband of 45 years. We talked weekly if not sometimes daily just to say hello and let each other know we were thinking of each other. There never had to be a reason. There are so many stories and so much joy shared. My heart is broken to not have her here, but know we will be together again. What a loving sole that I am proud to call my sister.
I loved my Aunt Geraldine with all my heart. We were always close. No matter where my parents were stationed in the Air Force or where my job took me, I always found ways to bring my Aunt and Uncle to see new parts of the states. We enjoyed a love for wild life and flowers...sharing pictures and stories. Geraldine loved all who knew her and shared her strong faith in God. As Jesus planned her journey home, she spent some of her last days singing gospel out of the blue with her sisters and Shirley...who gave so much of her life and husband David sacrificing to ensure Geraldine lived the best life she could. Her children had a special Mother who loved them dearly. God received a beautiful Angel. She has a wonderful family waiting in heaven and family and friends here with many loving memories. She will be missed.
Shirley and David our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the loss of your mother. Take comfort in all the beautiful memories you shared. May God bless each of you.
To each of you who knew and loved Geraldine, I’m so sorry for your loss. However, you all were so blessed to have had her in your lives all these many years. My prayers are with each of you at this time.
I know they are rejoicing in Heaven. Another soldierâ€s coming home! You think her husband grabbed her by the hand and showed her all the wonders he has seen Be happy for her as she kneels at the feet of Jesus. . Her job is done here on earth. Love to you all. Ronnie and Marilyn.
My aunt Geraldine was the sweet and most caring lady I have ever known, I remember her with a big smile and kind words. She was always there if anyone was down and had a way of always making a person feel better about life when things was tough. If there ever was a angel here on earth I feel it was her. But the Lord has called her home, she will be missed by me and by all that knew her. Rest in peace you sweet lady. I will love you always Dean Watters.
Shirley, David, Brett, Jerry and family, Kim/Dale . I am saddened by your loss and know your heart’s are heavy but understand it was Gods will. Love you all.
