Sending prayers and thoughts to your family. I met your mother once when I played and sang for her about six years ago. She seemed full of the joys of life and so welcoming. May she be in peace.
Geraldine was such a special person! I wish I could have spent more time with her, but hearing stories from her daughter, Maureen, made me feel as though I knew her better than I did. My sincere condolences to all of you for your loss.
Always in our hearts Auntie Geraldine! I am sure your reunion with Uncle Luke was a joyous occasion. Until we meet again.
What an amazing lady, so privileged to have known her. One of her lovely paintings, received as a wedding present, has hung proudly in our home for almost 40 years. Our sincere condolences to Joan, Peter and Maureen as well as other family members. How lucky we were to have had her with us for so many years.
Dear Peter, Joan, Maureen and families:
So very sorry to hear the sad news of your mother’s passing. I remember her so well during our time at Resurrection church. What a lovely person. Deepest condolences to you all! May all the happy memories you have of cherished times with your dear mother, give you all strength during this most difficult time! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I want to express my deepest condolences to the McCarthy, Hodgson and Brennan families who are
suffering the loss of their dear Mother and Aunt Geraldine.
A beautiful life devoted to Christ is very pleasing to our Blessed Lord. May Aunt Geraldine be called to the Beatific Vision, hearing the voice of Christ saying ; “Welcome good and faithful servant !’.
I will celebrate Holy Mass tomorrow at 9am for the repose of the would of dear Geraldine.
May she Rest In Peace. And may the soul of Geraldine and the souls of all the faithful departed Rest In Peace.
God bless you all, Your friend,
