Aunt Geneva, I will miss you. I didn't get to see you often enough but I have many fond memories as a child. You and Uncle Raymond were cherished by Mom as her favorite aunt and uncle. I am thankful you are now reunited with Uncle Raymond, Joe and Mom (aka: "Snappy"). We love you dearly. Gena (Akery) Pounds and Family
