Genevieve Edna Pipkin Bruno - My mother
- recalling many fond memories of Sunday dinners, holiday parties and all of your favorite treats that you so enjoyed. Also remembering our trip to Missouri that you and I took a few years ago is one of the fondest memories I have of you. You were so happy to finally get to see all of your cousins that you grew up with. Getting to see your mother's and grandmother's homes meant so much to you. What a wonderful time we had visiting with your cousin Ruthie and all her girls. Getting to know your side of the family was such a joy that I got to share with you. You were always a loving and caring mother who gave much of yourself to others. I hope that you can now have peace in the arms of God and with the Blessed Virgin at his side. Rest now mom your work is done here and now you can be with your mother whom you missed so much. It is an honor to be your daughter and Frank and I and our entirre family have always loved you dearly and will miss you greatly. You are the beat of our hearts. Kiss Lulu for me.
