Sorry to hear of the passing of Geraldine, I knew her from Family First/Manor Ridge Family Medicine when I worked there at the front desk. There was so many things about her that reminded me of my grandmother who passed a few years ago. Geraldine was always sweet and kind. She will be missed. God Bless.
