My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Geneva. I knew Geneva when I was just a little girl, my mom would take me to see her at the furniture store in Blacksburg. I loved to look at all of the "pretties" she had and she was always like a second grandmother to me. God Bless the family and friends of Geneva, a wonderful lady, who will be truly missed.

Randy, Paul and Mary,
Once again we witness a loved one taking their step over to begin a new life, leaving our hearts with a sense of loss and sadness. And thus shall we mourn our loss, but let us give way to that joyous reunion among four old friends now reunited. They have left us with grand memories and a love for each other that cannot be purchased and have left us to continue on in this life until we too shall help complete that circle. So lets us mourn in our souls, and yet rejoice in our hearts, for they have seen God. Our thoughts and prayers for all of you at this time.
