It's been one year since Gena left us. We love and will miss her always. Her life and accomplishments will continue to inspire us all. Jake, Kendal and Jordan - you were her pride and joy and she was so proud of each of you. I will always keep you in my prayers.

Jake, Kendal, and Jordan - As the second month anniversary approaches, I am thinking of you and praying for you. I loved your Mom so very much. I hope you will always remember all the wonderful and fun times we had. She loved you each so much and was so very proud of the three of you. Your Mom was one of the most generous, fun loving and spirited people I have ever known. She was a true inspiration. She worked very hard and I was so proud of her. I love you very much and I will always be there for you. Rest in peace Gena. Life will never be the same without you.

It is with so much sadness that I write this. I had the pleasure of getting to know Gena and her children while they attended our nursery school in Belmont. Since we are a parent co-op, Gena spent many happy hours at our school with her children and their friends. Gena particularly enjoyed our annual Mothers Day Tea as being a Mom was so important to her. Jake, Kendal and Jordan you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

To The Brown Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mom. I met Gena a few years ago at Grace Chapel's Winterlude retreat at Cape Cod. She was in my small group. My daughter Karen knew her from the Mom to Mom group, and they shared many fun times together.
I recently reconnected with Gena at NWH where I occasionally work in the Ultrasound dept. I was glad to hear that she had gone to school and was happy in her new profession.
Keep the wonderful memories of your mom close to your hearts, and may God give you His comfort and peace at this difficult time.

Dear Brown family,
I was saddened to hear of the tragedy of your kind mom. I met Gena at the " Mom to Mom" group at Grace Chapel. We shared special times with many other women who had the privilege of being mothers.
I used to joke around with Gena and told her that she looked like the actress on the television show "Bewitched". I will miss seeing her at the Winterlude retreats, and will always remember her.
Someday I will see her again in heaven where she is now with Jesus.

Dear Jake, Kendal, and Jordan:
You may not remember me (Paula) and Kim when we came to your house to watch the first Super Bowl that the Patriots were in, but we remember you. You may or may not remember our daughter, Hillary, who was your babysitter for a few years when you were younger but she remembers you with fond and fun memories. We want all three of you to know that we loved all three of you and your mom Gena so much, as if you were family. We can only imagine how much you will miss your mom. We will miss her too. But we feel some comfort in knowing that she is already looking down from Heaven upon us all, especially the three of you, the children she loved more than life itself, and she is smiling knowing you three are safe and have so many people around you who love you and care. May that help you through this heartbreaking time and sustain you through the coming days and weeks and months to come. Sincerely, Paula Archer

Dear Jake, Kendal & Jordan,
We are visiting our son and family in Wellesley when we heard the tragic death of your Mom. Your Mom and our daughter, Rebecca James, attended Indiana University together, and after graduation they backpacked through Europe.
Your Mom was a guest, (more like a daughter) several times in our home. I recall how excited she was about her interview for her first job after I.U. She was Rebecca's maid of honor at her wedding in Austin, TX, in 1986. When you three were babies she would bring you to visit us when we were in Wellesley. She was so proud of you.
We grieve with you as we loved your
Mom, too.
Our Love and Sympathy,
The James Family

You dont know me, but I go to your school..

It's your friend Renee Leavitt. I'm sad that your mother is gone because she was a great lady and she was so nice to me that time in preschool that I slept over your house. I hope that you will be able to be happy in the future. Please tell your family that I'm sorry, too.

The Collins Family

A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
Jake, Kendal, and Jordan -
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mother truly loved you. It is through you she will go on living.

We just played in a fun golf tournament with Gena a week ago. Wow, could she hit a golf ball. She was always smiling and talking about her kids. She was very proud of them. Gena's memory will always put a smile on my face. God bless her children and help them to remember the happy times with their Mom.

We are shocked and saddened by this tragic loss and grieve for Jake, Kendall and Jordan and the many friends who are also suffering the loss of this remarkable woman. Gena inspired me to return to nursing school and with three kids, it isn't always easy. But, I knew if Gena could do it, I can do it, too. I was and will remain so very proud of her.
