Dearest Family Yaccarine, The befriended McDermotts, from St.Rose of Lima days (through our son, Connor), were so saddened to learn of Geraldine’s passing. How we looked forward to your kind greetings and good company during sports events that left voices hoarse from cheering on our boys your-Michael , and, Michael’s pal: Connor; next, in “Communion Day” line; and, next to each other at basketball games. Thank you for kindnesses always extended to our family who very much admired yours. John and Geraldine were the best looking couple; remembered being seen, hand-holding in the bleachers during games. How Geraldine's would “chuff” over our disabled son, Blake, was heartwarming to bring tears to our eyes. He loved the attention from such a pretty lady, ever so , Geraldine!
Remember, too, overhearing your discussing an easy family dinner menu of eggs, associating the monetary Italian word “ fazooulis!”; that you chose to translate for me with a smile and a wink. How beautiful , a family , seen in the photo loop. Geraldine was a bright star to behold up close and from a distance as our families parted ways due to changes of Catholic school venues. One does not forget wonderful people; even if classified as an “away team.” Prayers and blessings from us, many, are pouring forth over the Family that meant everything to an amazing , woman, mother, spouse and, friend, named Geraldine.
Most fondly,
Damian /Joan Mc Dermott and Family
Marlboro, NJ
