Aunt Genevieve was so kind to Patricia and myself when we were getting married, and she was a perfect model of loving hospitatilty to all. I remember there was always a pot of coffee on the stove when we came to visit, and then we'd sit around the table and hear how all the family was doing. I am so sorry I could not be with you today, but I have you all in my thoughts and prayers.

She was such a loving, amazing person. I am still learning from her. I will never forget her saying to me, "Every one of my children is different, and I love them all the same."

Goodbye, Mom.

Genevieve was "simply the best"! (And so were her famous Forgotten cookies!!) She gave so much to her family, her church, her community. She is now at peace which she so well deserves...but she will be very much missed.

My deepest sympathies to my friends, Mary Prance and Angelo Fazio, and to Mary's sister and brothers. Your Mom, as you know,
was a wonderful woman who touched
the lives, in a very positive way, of many people she met this journey called life.
I am blessed to have known her.
Respectfully,
Jan
