Geri and I grew up as friends in the same neighborhood. I used to pick up Julie and Geri and we would walk to the bus together that would take us to Skyline. I have been to her family cabin at Donut Falls--no wonder it was one of her favorite places to visit!  All my sympathy goes out to her family and friends. She was one of my favorite people and a big part of my childhood.

I was very blessed to grow up in the same LDS Ward and neighborhood as Geri. I remember her quiet, a bit shy, but fun personality. I have not known of her life since High School. It is so great to see her posterity. A proud Mom and Grandmother she should be. I am grateful to have shared a small part of my life with hers.
