Beauty is who she was. She exuded that in every aspect of her life. Geraldine was loved by everyone. She deposited in to everyone she encountered, be it a smile, a hug or words of encouragement. She was generous, honest and very dedicated. She had true staying power. When things got tough she always pushed through. When challenges arose she faced them head on. Princess as she was affectionately called, loved being showered with attention. She loved grand gestures and would be the first to extend her helping hand for whatever was needed. She was thoughtful. She remembered everyones birthday and was sure to send out Christmas cards every year. She was a loving Mother, Wife, Grandmother, great advisor and a true friend. She encompassed the truest essence of a genuine woman. Ms Gerri also loved a great time, a good celebration, a cold beer and a hearty laugh.
