Condolences:

Such a great Loss that there are not enough words to express how Great she truly was.  She was an inspiration to many.  She holds you all still so close, I am sure as close as you all were to her, as that is how loving, caring and kind woman she was.  May she rest in peace and be released from all pain.  She now opens a new part of life up thru the pearly gates of heaven, where she will meet the ones that have left before her. I will never forget our visits, our laughs and most of all the hugs I got every time I saw her.  These are memories I will cherish forever.  God Bless each and every one of her family and friends during this time of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Nicole Clifton Geiszler
