You will be greatly Missed!! â¤
She was an amazing woman, I really enjoyed working with her. She was like a mom to me. Sending my love to her family.
Dee, Sympathy to you in the passing of your wife.. Praying for you as you face the days ahead.
Hope to meet again, in another time and another place. My better sister.
Since having grown up with her as a close neighbor to her and her family, I have always had a deep respect and appreciation for Geraldine. She always exemplified Christian values and actions. Because of her experience as a missionary, this gave us good “common ground†for discussions at the Lee/ Wright family reunions. She definitely helped advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ‼ï¸
I am so very sorry to hear of Geraldine's passing! I have wonderful memories of her, since as teenagers I was the Pianist and she was the Song Leader at the little rural Good Hope Baotist Church south of McCrory, AR. " Precious in the sight of the Lird is the death of His saints." May you, her family, be blessed with His Grace and Peace!
