I had the privilege of knowing Gena and her family during her time in Gulf Breeze. I will cherish the memories I have of spending time with Gena and our long talks. She is definitely an inspiration to me and she reminded me of the reason I became a social worker. May God wrap his arms around her family during this difficult time.
