My heart is with my family in SD today as we grieve the loss of my Aunt Dolly Geist, a woman who is loved by many and will be missed deeply. My heart hurts but my mind feels relief that she is now free of illness. Anyone who knew her, knows she was one tough bird and now God has an angel that will help him keep things in line. ((Hugs)) to all of my cousins, my Aunts and Uncle’s and mostly to my Uncle Harold Geist in the loss of his wife….
I love you ALL!

my deepest sympathy and prayers, Dolly will remember her as a wonderful cook. I always enjoyed our talks and how she loved all of her family in each of their own way. She said wonderful things about each of you and she would get upset but she love you with her hole heart. She gave me lots of laughs about different stories and it made her feel good to share them. All of you are with her in her heart. Keep the memories alive, talk about her. my prayer Janet Bohn
So sorry to hear of Dolly’s passing. The last time I saw here was a wonderful time. Dolly was such a special lady, and as children I remember "playing house", and we were so involved picking a weed, that we used as a dollie, that we didn’t hear our parents calling for us. Dolly will be missed. May God comfort you during this time of loss.
