My condolences to the family of Geraldine. It is obvious from the many kind expressions, tat Geraldine will be sorely missed. May the promise found at Psalms 147:3 bring comfort and strength during this most difficult time. “He heals the broken-hearted. He binds up their wounds.

I am very sorry for your loss. Gerri was a wonderful woman with a great sense of humor who was a great asset to Burke. I truly enjoyed the years that I worked with Gerri.

Gerri was my boss at Burke for almost 10 years. She was the best manager that I could have ever asked for. She was not only my employer but my friend. I will miss her dearly and always think of her fondly.
