Geraldine was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. Sending our condolences and prayers to the whole Wery family. It’s hard to lose your mom.

I met your mom at Sunny View when my mother, Betty LaFave was there. Their Catholic faith connected them and my mom enjoyed talking to her. She was such a sweet lady and could not tell me enough stories about her children and grandchildren. She loved you all so much! It’s hard to say goodbye even though we know they are in a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
