10 years since we held hands, laughed, and enjoyed life together.10 years in the blink of the eye. 10 years without you has been 10 too many. Memories of you, with you, will never fade.

The Overholser Family is saddened by the loss of an energetic young lady. Her grandfather was President of our Association for a number of years. May God give you all peace in this time of unexpected sorrow.

Dear, dear Genevieve,
You were an unbridled spririt whose warmth, wit, and passion filled my life for too short a time. I still owe you that drink. I am only sorry that we didn't know each other longer in order to know each other even better. You were always a bright light in world dimmer by your absence.
