Genevieve, you are such an inspiration to me. I love the times that Khysie brought you into our office and talked for a while. I will keep your picture of you when you were a little girl in chaps in my sight to remind me of the kindness, caring & hard working woman you were & I too, want to follow those footsteps as a reminder that us women can make a big difference in everyone's life, just as you did. Thank you for all the joyful talks & visits we had. Sending BIG HUGS TO Khysie....
