    So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, grandmother, and good friend to all who knew her, Geraldine. She and Byron were quite the pair. They both were an important part of the Pisgah community, After Byron passed, Geraldine continued to be very active in many ways in the Pisgah community and the surrounding area. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all her family.
