  4. So sorry to hear of Geneva’s passing, she lived so many years, but it is still hard to say goodbye. Just thank God that she is no longer in pain, or suffering. I have many fond memories of her when we were growing up next door to her and my first cousins. May God comfort you in your loss.

  9. Heather and Family…

    Curt spoke fondly of your grandmother and through our communication left no doubt that she was a very unique person who touched those who knew her in an uplifting manner… that her time on earth was a priceless gift to a very loving family and friends, and that beyond the sadness and loss that is now felt, those who knew her hold a sense of intense privilege and gratitude for having been allowed to share a part of her life. I know that you will miss her but also know you will remember the many blessings of the years you shared together, and that her life gave you many memories too beautiful to ever forget. Take comfort in knowing a special angel is now watching over you, and may the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. My prayers, sympathy, and warm thoughts are with you.
