We are so sorry to hear. Our prayers are for the family in this sorrowful time. Geneva was a sweet and wonderful person to know. Her smile will be missed.
She had such a beautiful soul and will be remembered for all of the selfless acts she has made all throughout her lifetime. Geneva was a beautiful woman and was so strong. She was such a good Memaw to me and all of her grandchildren. She always said she couldn’t wait to be in the Lord’s arms and now she is. She will be so missed here on Earth but we all know she’s looking down on us watching over us every step of the way. I love you Memaw.
She was such a joy to life! Sweet and always smiling! Glad I saw you at the family reunion! RIP you will be forever missed.
Our family will like to extend our deepest sympathy for your precious loss. Miss Geneva had a beautiful soul, very funny and had a heart of gold. She will be missed by so many that loved her including us. We pray that you and your families will find strength even in the midst of your grieving.
