Geri - A celebration of her Life - Saturday 5/7/2005 4 - 7 pm

[Guest guest]

Hello again!

According to Geri's wishes, we will be holding an Open House for all family and

friends who wish to come and join us in celebrating Geri's life ....... with a

party! What else? She wanted it to be a happy time. With her maiden name

" Fitzgerald " , a type of wake is only appropriate.

In spirit, Geri will be organizing and enjoying it with us. She brought us so

much laughter and fun during her life and she is just not going to let a little

something like this stop her! :-)

When: Saturday, May 7th, 2005

Time: 4 pm - 7 pm Of course, +- 4-5 hours is the norm :-)

Where: Our home (A special reflection of Geri!)

Dress: Casual ............. No Black!!!

Food: If you would like to bring a plate of hors d'oevres, cookies,

etc., please call me 619-222-1104 to coordinate. We don't want any

leftovers/waste.

Drinks: I will be supplying the wine & beer - Again, we don't want any

waste/leftovers! :-)

laughter and wonderful friends! Maybe a little music, too ..................

Flowers?: PLEASE NO FLOWERS! Donations in lieu of flowers may be made in

Geri's name to:

San Diego Hospice - www.sdhospice.org/

or, IRI (Make checks payable to IRI - Salvador - see below my signature) for

therapy for Geri & my friend, Salvador, Magdalena's 12 year old son who has CP.

Magdalena has been an incredible help & blessing to Geri & our family during the

past year. The proposed therapy is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) if

Magdalena should so choose. Any donations that are not used by Salvador will be

forwarded to San Diego Hospice at a later date. IRI is the charity I created

when we sold Fancy Pants but has been very inactive due to Geri's challenges

since then. Anyone wishing to read about HBOT, may visit

I have committed $4000 for Salvador's first 40 treatments and I believe he will

need over 120 treatments.

or, Youth Tennis San Diego - www.barnestenniscenter.com Geri & I loved and

supported this wonderful center for years while we had Fancy Pants & Geri played

there often.

Looking forward to seeing you if at all possible. Please let other friends of

Geri's know. Sorry you folks in faraway places will not be with us - You will

miss another one of Geri's great parties. We will enjoy your spirits though.

Send them over. :-)

Geri's ashes will be spread later on Mount Tamalpais, just north of San

Francisco's Golden Gate, where her beloved father's, Gerry Fitz, ashes were

spread several years ago.

Much Love to you all, Ken
