Guest Book
From: Dixie Geer
I am so sorry for your loss. Working at the G.N. I was honored to have met your parents (Earl,Marie). We got to know each other more than just as a waitress and customer. I remember fondly a time when I was working a party at the G.N., (I believe it was Marie and Earls anniversary) Marie wanted me to meet her and Earl's children . I believe it was the first time I met all of you. As your mom introduced me to each and everyone of you, you could see how proud and how much she loved her children. (I was enjoying myself so much, I almost forgot I was working). Your mom made me feel special/important introducing all of you to me (her pride and joy). Every now and then, your mom and dad would stop in at the G.N. for a bite to eat or a cup of coffee, we would have to catch up on how the family was doing. It was my pleasure taking care of your folks when they stopped in, as they had become very special to me.

We lost a beautiful lady. Marie was a very special friend and will always be remembered. She excepted me as a friend and I did her too. Never a dull moment!
