A beautiful soul, a wonderful neighbor and a fabulous cook! I'm going to miss my friend Ms. Genie. When God received Ms. Genie into His Heaven I'm sure He said "well done, good and faithful servant." Mark

Some times when someone is on your mind for many months and you can't contact them, you know they are thinking about you, this is where I was until I meet a family member. And then it all became clear. One of the purest hearts had gone to her daughter, son, husband and many more family members in heaven.. I am sending prayers to the family of Geneva, no more suffering, rest peacefully kind friend. You will be missed.🌹 🙏😢
