It was a pleasure knowing your mom. Geneva always had such a kind smile when I would see her. She was sure to ask me if I knew GOD. Her strong faith in Christ was very evident. Your mother will continue to be an inspiration to me and for others who were blessed to know her. She is finally with her beloved savior. I am still giving out your mother's home made crosses. She truly was an amazing person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Shaffer Family:
My prayers are with you at the loss of your mom. I know you will miss her greatly. I remember all of the wonderful ways she loved and served others from her volunteer work at the blood drives to the many cards and angels she sent to express God's love and her love to those who needed a special touch. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her love and kindness was a great example to all of us. Heaven gained a special angel. May God bring to you His comfort and peace until the day you see her again. Love, Charlene

Thinking of you, Dennis and Bobbi, during this difficult time. Though I didn't know you mother, Dennis, I do know that you are an intelligent, caring, and decent man, and I know you loved her and that she will be missed. Take care. We love you both.

Geneva was a wonderful person. I appreciated the angels she made at Christmas and the encouraging notes she would send or give me as I started my personal walk with Jesus. She was a great witness of the Gospel and now she is an angel in heaven reunited with her husband. Prayers to all of her family as they celebrate her life and mourn her loss.
