Just learned about Geraldine. 

Gerrie was a class act. She loved the Lord, and her nursing business in Frederick. My children loved her, as well. Many memories of time spent with "The Chipman"s in Maryland.

Gerrie was always gracious. She taught me a lot.

Marisa, my heart goes out to you.

My dear friend Gerrie was a mentor, an inspiration and  a spiritual giant.  She was always kind and loving and she stood up for truth.  A blessed Mother and Grandmother.  I treasure the gifts of wisdom that she shared with me over the years.  In her honor, let's all strive to "stay on the path"

My wife and I met Gerrie at an antique show and had the honor of being invited to her home in 2021. What a wonderful collection she had - matched only by her hospitality and energy for life! 
We cherish our fond memories of her!

I knew her for too short of a time. What started out as a written note to a woman unknown to me, turned into a sweet friendship that I’ll never forget. Our shared life experiences, love for books and writing, brought about an ease with one another that lent itself to heart-to-heart conversations that I’ll never forget. 
I will always hold her close in my memories and the image I have of her-standing on her porch with her sweet smile and waving goodbye-will be the picture I carry with me for the rest of my life.
I have been blessed to have known her and experienced her friendship


I met Gerrie for the first time on April 22nd.  She responded to a McKay's gift certificate listing that I had on FB Marketplace.  I realized that she lived near me, so she allowed me to drop it off at her home.  She and I chatted for a while.  I explained to her that I probably wouldn't use the gift certificate.  She said I should read and read to my boys.  She was so passionate about it that she took me into her home to find a book for me to borrow.  Gerrie loaned me Johnathan Livingston Seagull.  She said kids love the imagery of birds flying.  I read it and returned it to her in her mailbox today, but unfortunately, I returned it too late.  It was a pleasure to meet her.  She was so kind.  She had even invited me back, said I should let my boys fish off her dock.  She made such an impression on me, even in the short time that we shared together.  I know she will be missed.  Her family and friends will be in my thoughts.  May you be comforted by your memories of this precious lady.  

Gerrie and I were second cousins through our Helgeson grandfather’s. Mine was Ole Helgeson. I really enjoyed being in touch with her through Facebook the past few years.  I will miss her. My sympathy!  Myrna Adams

My ❤️ is broken~~ Such a sweet lady.
