Help the Michael Christman Family in time of need

Our friends in Garden City and Montauk have known the Christman family since childhood.

Michael Christman and his family's lives changed forever on Wednesday, May 27, 2020. Michael’s wife, Gerri was getting ready to start her day when she suffered a brain aneurysm and passed.

She enjoyed spending her time in nature, was a talented photographer and a free spirit. She loved animals, raising beautiful English White Golden Retrievers- who she often called her “second children.”

She was a terrific mom and great wife, always devoting all of herself to her family. She leaves behind her husband Michael, and her 3 children: Michaela, Michael and Nicole.

Her heart was always in Wexford, Ireland where she was from before moving to Montauk for a summer adventure. Geraldine had an immeasurable impact on everyone she met. She always had a smile and believed the best of people. Her positive care-free attitude and determination spoke volumes about who she was. It made her happy, proud and fulfilled to make her family and everyone around her happy.

Her family came upon hard times financially and cannot afford a funeral at this time. They are deeply shocked and overwhelmed with grief.

MaryAnn Peluso, Michael Christman's sister will use the donations toward continued college education for NICOLE & MICHAEL, basic funeral  costs, and subsidize living expenses for family.
