I loved Geneva Matthews so very much...She was loved by so many people...I loved her like my very own Grandma...and I believe that she was holding on as long as she did to see her Grandson and I get married...which was the day before her 78 Birthday

Carol, Kaye, Lucy, Gina, Eddie and your families -
We loved MaMa and will miss her deeply. We are very sorry for your loss and know that you are hurting - know that we are here for you.
We are praying for and thinking of each of you always. Be comforted in the knowledge that MaMa is no longer in pain and is with Daddy now, keeping Little Ruben in line as well as others I probably don't know about up there in Heaven.
They are all watching over us and especially each of you and your families - love each and be kind to one another. That is what MaMa would want. We love you all.
We love you MaMa and we Miss You!
