I am so sorry to hear of Geri's passing 3 years ago and sorry I missed the funeral service. Geri was a great friend to my mom, Elizabeth Powell and they had many good times together before her passing in 2009. I am sure they had a glorious reunion in heaven! Belated condolences to her wonderful family who I am sure is carrying on her legacy in the way she would have wanted! Geri was one of a kind!

Earl, my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother. It's expected that many of us are losing parents at this stage of our lives, but that doesn't make it any easier. It sounds like your mother was a wonderful, godly woman who lived a full and grace-filled life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Earl, Marcia and family,

Sorry to here of the loss of your Mother/Grandmother.   Debbie and I always enjoyed her company at Holland Road Baptist.  We still have the framed 23rd psalm plaque she gave us years ago displayed in our home here in Auburn, NY.  

God bless,
Kevin & Debbie

To The Stanton Family,  Especially Earl and Marcia,  
My mom & I  had the pleasure of being Geri's neighbor at Rose Hall for a few years !!!  Her and my mom would always get together and the two of the would laugh and Geri even came to our apartment a few times on New Years Eve !!!  I wish I had known about her passing sooner, or I would have been there today!!  I know she's in heaven reunited with her family members that have passed and both of my parents (she knew my mom very well) they probably already have had several laughs and started cooking together !!!   God bless, i'll always cherish the memories !!!

Deepest Sympathy,  Prayers for the family in this time of sorrow.

Earl and Family, Joey and I want to convey our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom.  You and your children certainly gave her a reason to be so proud.  I know she lived a long and beautiful life in part because of the strong family ties.  Though we always miss them dearly, we are so fortunate to have them live on in our memories.  Love to you and family.  Cappy Meredith/Weinbrecht

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Miss Gerri touched so many lives. She loved our girls as if they were her own. Her smile and laugh was always so contagious.  She will be missed by so many that loved her dearly. I can just see her in Heaven,  hand waving you over and a hey go over there and  get me....
Well done Gerri, until we see you again!
Thinking of you all and sending much love

My heartfelt condolences to my friend and brother Earl Stanton and his family on the loss of their mother and grandmother of their children. If I can be of any help or comfort, please let me be so. 

To the Stanton Family:  Miss Geraldine came into our families life many years ago and since then our lives shall be forever changed . Geraldine was one of the most Loving ,Caring ,Genuine and Considerate ladies you could ever meet. Geraldine was the real little Italian mother that could walk the walk and talk the talk .Italian food she loved to eat and cook when we would bring over the strombolis she would say don't forget the Garlic Knots. She was the ultimate Antique Collector of Collectors which she naturally had a gift for . We often thought she had a sixth sense for Life and people but I think most of all her Grandchildren, Family and Dear Close Friends. We all have been touched and Blessed by one beautiful Lady. We all will certainly miss that High pitched Italians ladies voice on the other side of the door when you came to visit and knocked [Who is it Ohh Come on in } then you are met with that Great big Smile. In closing Im sure she said when walking through Gods Door { ImHere Im Home}.God  Bless you Geraldine we know your at Peace.........
Donald, Lisa, Justin, Adam and Hailey Moss

To the Stanton family: We are all so sorry for your loss. Geraldine was truly a special lady to all she knew and loved.  She always had a smile and kind words to offer. May God bless and comfort each of you.

     When I think of her it brings a smile to my face to think of the many conversations we shared. I came to know and love her  and her family during my time at Discovery Church. 
    Miss Geraldine was always so sweet and shared her faith in our conversations about God's goodness.  To the family I send much love and prayers for God's peace and comfort during this season of sorrow.  But, you can rejoice in knowing that she is resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus. 

I always thought of her as Aunt Gerri  as I was an "adopted" family member from the time I was 16.   She was funny,  loud, stubborn, tough, independent and every bit Italian...... she  enjoyed feeding anyone who walked through her door... it was in her DNA.   I know she will missed by everyone who knew her.  RIP Geraldine!

I am going to miss this beautiful lady so much. I loved our visits and listening to all her interesting stories. She has blessed me in so many ways. 

I’m so sorry for your loss. I loved how Gerry could always make me laugh, even when I didn’t feel like I could. She will be missed but I know she’s dancing up in heaven (and probably trying to tell God how to run things 😊❤️). 

My mother Quin was very good friends with Barbara Hickerson, her Niece.  I visited Aunt Gerry many times growing up and she had a huge impact on my young life.  Her Italian whit and charm are just some of the things that made her such a wonderful person.  She will be missed here but I am certain she has a large welcoming committee in Heaven.  May you rest easy Aunt Gerry, you are loved.  Prayers to her family and friends  

Aunt Jerry was one of a kind. I will miss our weekly chats,I have a life time of the greatest memories.My life would have been empty with out you in it. Thank you for the lessons..you taking me in on alot of summers with you growing up. You gave me so much of your love,laughs,& wisdom.I know you are in heaven with all the glory. May you rest in peace. God bless Love your niece  Barbara 🥰🙏🙏

So sorry for your loss. She was a special lady. Always had a smile for us. Wish we could be there but we're in Utah but know you all are in our prayers. God Bless you all.
                                               Rick and Linda Fraser
