An open letter to the West Point and Highland Falls communities

We would like to take a moment to thank all of you who supported us over the last few weeks as we have dealt with the sudden loss of our wife and mother, Geri York. We had no idea just how many people Geri had touched with her warmth and kindness.

Thanks to all the doctors, nurses and staff at Keller Army Community Hospital for whom community is more than just part of their name. Thanks also to the Rite-Aid of Highland Falls where Geri worked for just a short time, but who grew to love her so much. She truly enjoyed her work and her coworkers, but more than them she enjoyed serving the people in our communities.

A special word of thanks goes out to Hogan Funeral Home for their patient and professional assistance.

Lastly, thanks to each and every one of you who fixed a meal, delivered a plant, sent a card, brought some flowers or offered a prayer. We have loved living here. We just did not know how much you would love us back.

Tom, Chris and Chelsea York
