Geneva and I never met but for over 6 yrs I would call her each Tuesday and Thursday morning. She would talk abt her family, pulling weeds and getting shots in her eye. Sometimes we'd laugh so hard we'd cry. Always looked forward to talking to her. (I'm a volunteer with Partners in Prime Meals on Wheels) To her family and friends, I'm sorry for your kids and many prayers
