    My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of Mrs. Geraldine’s family.
    She always had a smile and a kind word to say. Her caring heart and love for others showed in numerous kind and generous deeds throughout the years I knew her. She had that special quality of making sure noone ever felt left out. She just had a way of showing love to everyone. God Bless you all.
    Sincerely,
    Becky Cash
