To Irene and the rest of the Hynes family:
I was saddened to hear of Geraldine's passing. I first met Geraldine & Ron in 1993, when my family & I moved to Summerford. Irene, along with Allister, began caring for my sister & I when needed. Irene would take us for visits at Geraldine's house where I'm sure we tasted the results of her delicious cooking & baking many times. We enjoyed our visits and were made to feel like "adopted" grandchildren.
The day after my husband & I were married, we went to Sunmerford for a few days. It was a Sunday, so of course we wanted to go to church. We decided to go to Bayview for the service. I remember Geraldine coming and giving both of us a hug. Before the service was over, she was asked to pray and during her prayer, she prayed over our marriage. I will never forget that and I have mentioned it often in the last almost 4 years.
Geraldine, you are now reunited with silly Ron, and I'm sure he was glad to see you too. But I know without a shadow of a doubt that however happy you were to see Ron, you were even happier to see your Saviour, whom you loved & served.
To the family: cherish your many memories that you have made over the years. They will help you to get through the coming days. Rely on God's strength, peace & love. He is there for you always.
Geraldine Hynes, you have fought the fight, won the race & kept the faith. Well done thou good & faithful servant. Now rest in the arms of Jesus and Enjoy your heavenly reward.
Thoughts & prayers
