Condolences to Genevieve’s family. I will always have memories of Gen,Alice and I enjoyng our time bike touring from our neighborhood. Gen was a precious women and friend of ours. May she rest in peace and bless all of her family. Jackie Gustafson
My deepest sympathy to Gen’s family. I will remember her lovely art work, a mischevious look with a smile hinted in her eyes before she asked some loaded question. I loved that part of her. Would often find myself laughing later. I imagine the close family times that transpired from her humor.She has a lovely family and thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you through this difficult time. I believe when we lose something that hurts so much that it is because our life was so blessed with its presence and that is ultimately the most beautiful gift of love and family.
