This is for her entire family, but particularly for Mary and Neil. So, so sorry for your loss. It is with great fondness that we remember Geneva. We couldn´t have done it without her in the early days of taking over the Dairy Queen from my father. Mr Jay and Ginny Kay will always be a wonderful part in the annals of the DQ on the Blvd lore!
