My deepest Sympathy to the family of Geri a dear sister in Christ. I cannot attend the funeral as I have one in Beaver Dam at the same time. I just remember the times she was always friendly to me and when I visited her at Hope be for the Pandemic. One time it happened that the family was there celebrating her Birthday and even included me with having cake. God give you comfort knowing your Mom is with our Lord. Helen Davidson.

Our deepest sympathy’s to Geri’s family. We only knew Earl and Geri for a short time as they allowed us to board our chickens at the farm. It was always a joy stopping at the farm and listening to all the stories of years gone by. We will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.
