"It's been an honor and a pleasure knowing such a vivacious beautiful lady. If anyone could brighten a room and share a laugh, Geraldine sure could. Her sense of style and fashion detail was the epitome of a classy woman. But, her beautiful smile and twinkle in her eye will forever be remembered. Heaven couldn't wait any longer for this angel!"
