Our thoughts and prayers are with the Genardo family during this tough time. Pat was a wonderful and kind person, who made you feel like family the first time she met you. We greatly appreciated her compassion after the loss of our mother. Pat's accomplishment in this world and her commitment to the care of the disabled and people in need should be applauded. Rest in Peace Pat Genardo. You will be missed.

Jorie,
My heart goes out to you, Jenell and John during this season of your Mom's passing. I know that she was not only Mom but a great friend to you and also one of your biggest cheerleaders in life. I am praying that God will provide you the needed strength, comfort and peace that only He alone can provide. God's grace is truly sufficient.

Your loved ones came to say their last goodbyes, to tell you they loved you, and that you will be forever missed.
As your heartbeat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed, God took another angel home.
You will never be forgotten. I already...

I have so many wonderful high school memories that include Pat and Jorie Genardo. All of "the moms and girls" having fun together through the cheerleading seasons, school dances, teepeeing, etc. A new memory was recently added when my mom and I visited with Pat, Jorie, and the Belsha women. It was if no time had passed and of course, was a great time. We're so glad we got to see your mom and everyone, Jor. She was a kind and fun lady. I can picture all of our moms talking and laughing while...
