• Dearest Brian and family....Derrick and I were heartbroken at the news of Geri's passing. The Bend just will not ever be quite the same without her presence here. Geri had a way of finding joy and laughter in everything. We had not seen a great deal of her this past year or so because she was a tough lady to keep up with...busy, busy, busy having fun all the time. Draw deep on the endless memories you have created. Rest well dear Geri and fly high and free. - Posted by: Derrick and Vera Cardinal (Cottage Friends and neighbors ) on: Feb 10, 2019

• Dear Brian, Scott and Nancy, Roberta and family: I was so very saddened to hear about Geri’s passing away, she was a wonderful person with a kind and generous heart and a great sense of humour and awesome smile and laugh! I have such great memories of our friendship during the years I lived in Winnipeg which I have never forgotten nor how terrific she and you, Brian, treated my kids, Tracy and Darren. My deepest sorrow and sympathy go out to you; may all your precious memories of Geri help to ease your pain as time passes. Lots of Love, your old friend Carron - Posted by: Carron Dunn (Friend) on: Feb 09, 2019

• Dearest Brian and Family, we were so saddened by the news of Geri’s passing. She was always so full of life, laughter and love. You couldn’t help being in a good mood when Geri was around. She always found the “funny” in any situation. That is a rare trait. There are no words that can take away your sorrow, but may the memories give you strength to get through all the tomorrows. And Brian we send you best wishes on your upcoming surgery. Take care old friend. - Posted by: Sharon & Ken Schoor (Old Breezy Bend friends) on: Feb 07, 2019

• Dearest members of the Shippam family and especially Brian, it is with a heavy heart that I convey to you the memorable thoughts that will always stay with me until the end of my time on this earth. The wonderful times spent together playing the most amazing games of cards one can imagine...going skiing, golfing, fishing, endless shopping for things that she rarely ended up buying...laughing/crying, going to the Casino and rarely winning but always having a heck of a good time...holding my hand during my time of need, and this list could go on and on and on.... Geri was always there for you. She was a wonderful, enthusiastic, caring human being that will be missed dearly. We are all fortunate and extremely blessed to have had such a wonderful person in our lives...."God.....Geri....I'm going to miss you!!!!" - Posted by: Henry Putre (Friend) on: Feb 06, 2019

• Was so sad to read of Geri’s passing. It’s odd, because I was just thinking of her the other day. Lots of fun-filled childhood memories I have of her. She was always so lively, caring and welcoming. And that laugh - like no other! I know what wonderful times were had with my dad, Roy, my mom, Carron, and my Auntie Shirley and Uncle Harold (who remained lifelong friends)! She will always be “Auntie Geri” to me. My deepest condolences to Uncle Brian, Scott and family. Your home on Reynolds Bay was a second home to me throughout my younger life, and I’ll always be grateful for that. May the memories you have carry you through this difficult time. Love Tracy Proutt (Smith) ❤️ - Posted by: Tracy Proutt (Family friend ) on: Feb 02, 2019
