Geri was a special person. Geri and her loving husband Gerald Tahajian were/are true friends of the community. I miss her smile and optimistic perspective. She was a true advocate for reading and leaning.
My quote to honor my sweet friend Geri is:
“The more that you READ, the more things you will KNOW. The more that you LEARN, the more places you’ll GO.” Dr. Seuss, whose Birthday is March 2❤️
Geri was a good friend of the Arnie Nixon Library CSUF.❤️?

Perserverence
I have never met a person quite like Geri; her unfailing positive attitude and generosity of spirit plus her never-ending energy and ‘get-it-done’ attitude was both inspiring and energizing! I am reminded of this quote by the author of ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ that captures the Geri personality perfectly!
We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are.
Madeleine L’Engle

Civility
YOUR MIND IS THE ONLY THING YOU CONTROL EXCLUSIVELY. DON’T GIVE IT AWAY TOO FREELY THROUGH USELESS ARGUMENTS.
Geri had the very unique characteristic of always being nice to everyone even though she didn’t always agree with what another person said. Geri never spoke ill of anyone and never repeated negative news about someone that she learned about from others. Geri respected everyone and learned from listening to others. Geri was always upbeat, positive, cheerful, kind and understanding, even with strangers.
