My deepest sympathies to you Liz, and all of Geri’s family. She was a wonderful person. So kind hearted, loving, and funny! I cherish all of the years I got the pleasure of doing her hair, and hearing all of her stories. Especially of her grandkids!! You are all so lucky to have had her as a mother and grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, during this terrible loss.

My sincere condolences of Mrs. Jones’ passing. I have warm memories of her and the Jones family taking me in after school at OMPH so I could attend basketball practice later in the evening. My first ride in a VW Bug was with Mrs. Jones singing it’s praises while we were crammed in the back seat.
