My Gramma Aggie Mitchell baby sat for both Gerald and Geraldine- for years. That was so long ago, but she loved them both. Sorry to hear of Gerald's passing.

50+ years have passed since I went to high school with Gerald and Geraldine, but I still remember them both with fondness. I also have a twin and understand the closeness of the twin bond. Geraldine, and family, my heart is with you at this sad time! And I want to say how grateful we are for your brother's service to our country. I know you are proud of him. Treasure your memories, and he will be with you still.
