Mrs. VanDerveer was the mother of one of my oldest friends from kindergarten. Mary Beth and I recently reconnected thanks to a picture from North Street kindergarten posted on the You know you are from Geneva facebook page. I have fond memories of playing at the VanDerveer house on Brook Street, on the farm in Hall/Stanley and in Italy Valley. Mrs. VanDerveer was always very kind to me. I am sorry that she and I never got together since Mary Beth and I reconnected. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
