I know that we have already posted about our love for Mr. Geddie, but I wanted to let the family know that we sent a memorial gift to St. Jude´s in his memory. The acknowledgement came back to us due to an old address. We felt that a donation to a children´s hospital would be perfect since Mr. Geddie loved children so much. We fondly remember the Palmer Home child he sponsored. We hope your family can celebrate Mr. Geddie´s birthday as a celebration of his whole life. Love, Morgan and Pat Gulledge

Our family remembers Mr. Geddie with great love and fondness. We were his back door neighbors for many years, and our youngest son Bill loved to go next door to see "Mr. Bill" every day after school. Our prayers go out to Tim, Kim, and Mrs. Geddie. Love, the Gulledges
