Geneva is the best Sister-in Law ever. There was little time together but the best memories going out to eat at the Lake. We laughed so hard reading cards in the gift shop and just talking. Mother loved her so much and had nothing but great things to say about her. It is with great sorrow and love we send to Gary. They made a terrific couple.
With Sympathy and our sincere condolences.
P.S. It has been hard getting the floral arrangement there on time due to the Christmas holiday. Hope they arrive on time... With all our love...

Geneva - I met you when I worked as a volunteer at the Christian Clinic! In fact you hired me! I saw you at the hospital, when visiting a patient or I was a patient! You always had a warmth about you and a welcoming manner. Your smile was contagious! My most recent pleasure was knowing you were going to join my Life Group class at First Baptist! You will be surely missed! Love & Hugs Bev
