Bob - I shall always treasure the time we spent just chatting at our last Eating Gang get together at the Cracker Barrel in Lakeland. I always loved talking (or listening) to Geneva. Our prayers go with you, Bob.

Our deepest sympathy and love to the family of Geneva. She was my mothers best friend in many ways. She was loved and admired by our family for her positive attitude, love and support for many years. She will be missed by many. God bless her surviving family members. She is at peace with her Savior now. Love Phil and Dianna Richmond (Justice)

So sorry for your loss. Praying for Gods' peace and comfort to the family and friends. Miss Geneva was the sweetest lady~she loved on me and made me feel so special as a college student when I first came to Westside. What a precious lady.

God Blessing to the family, remember going to church with the family. She was a wonderful neighbor too. She even taught me ceramics what a talent and the time she spent with each one to make them feel special. Rest now until we meet again one day in heaven. Love from all of the Neil Richardson family, and Sara Richardson.

I have such fond memories of Geneva & Bob with my Grandma Kay and Grandpa Gus growing up. Church, dinners and lots of laughs. Sending love up to them and prayers to Bob & family.

Sending prayers to all your family. Geneva was a very special lady to our family. I never remember a time that she was not there to support us in time of joy or sorrow. She will be missed until we meet her again and she can tell me about changing my diapers in the nursery when I was a baby!! LOL!
