Not sure what to say?

RIP Aunt Genevieve.
So happy that Heidi and I got to visit with you while home over Easter.
Our condolences to our cousins, Mary Sue, Lucy, Georgia, and Chuck, and the entire family.
You will be missed!

So sorry for your loss. I remember your mom always smiling and her friendly nature.

Genny was my next door neighbor on North street in auburn. She was a wonderful spunky woman & I loved it when her & Charlie would take their walks. She watched my children grow up & was able to meet all 4 of my grandchildren. Every year I would get a Christmas card from her expressing how much she missed seeing me as her neighbor. Every time she would see me she always greeted me with a hug. She will be sadly missed. My condolences to the entire family.

I am so incredibly sorry to see this! It was so nice reconnecting with your Mom and spending time with her! She would laugh and say, “I remember when you were that little blonde headed girl in the neighborhood”. ❤ I sure will miss seeing and visiting with her. Hugs to you all, Shelley

Sue, Lucy, Georgia and Chuck. I know your heart is hurting but you can be certain that Ginny is With our Lord. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Thanks for all the great receipts

Mary Sue and entire family,
We know your heart is sad at this time. No matter how old we get it is never easy to lose your mother. We send our heartfelt sympathy and hugs to you.

To Ginny's family, extended family, and friends. I loved having Ginny as part of Holy Cross parish. I felt welcomed and loved by her in our parish. I asked God in my prayers to welcome to heaven with a Big Hug

Jenny became my friend through Church and Senior Citizens. She adored her family and was so joy filled talking about all of them. I became very well acquainted with several of her children and grandchildren and my sympathy extends to them. I am sorry for your loss.
