Dear Joyce and John,
Our thoughts, prayers and love are with each and every one of you in this time of sorrow!
Remembering those times when we have been together with your mother and dad come to mind all to often and your dad had written to me with information that your parents had found regarding geneology for me. Bless their hearts! They were indeed so very special!
With Many Blessings and Much Love to All!

Joyce and John,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother! Aunt Geneva was such a sweet and kind lady! She had a beautiful smile and dressed perfectly for every occasion! She and Grandma along with Aunt Mabel used to hang out together and when I was in town for a visit, they would show up together at Mom and Dad’s with Grandma behind the wheel! They were so cute, I miss them all!
My condolences to you and your family,
Becky Smith
