Worked with Geri at St. Francis 1956-1958, as a student x-ray tech. A great teacher, always willing help, very organized, a great person.
For a few months commuted from Torrington to Farmington, dropped off at the green, Geri picked me up, on to St. Francis, good laughs and great comversations. Left after graduation, 1958, did work for Dr. Kingston for awhile, missed Geri, a hard worker,she will be missed.
My deepest sympathy. B.C.Cassarino
Honey, you are gone to a better place, but you will never be forgotten. You were truly a back-up mom to me all my life; and my Mom’s best friend. I will miss your opinion and guidance. Love you always! Alan
