PUNTA GORDA | Marie Geggis signs her husband’s initials on the wall on the partially constructed Sacred Heart Church. Geggis wrote a message of peace and love while honoring her children, especially her son James who died in 2004. The original church was destroyed during Hurricane Charley in 2004. The new church is expected to be ready to open by Thanksgiving.
