To all who weren't with her at the end, Mom (Genevieve) died peacefully in the end, I was quite amazed...She had been in agony for so long but when the Drs realized everything was failing they made her warm and comfortable, and we held her hands and said her husband and boys were there beside her...She was not alone...she took one more breath and and then no more...it was very calm and peaceful...and I know it was her relief...She died on her sister Catherine's Birthday. She will always live in our hearts and prayers...
We miss her already.

Sorry we will not be able to make the funeral, but at our age cannot make the drive to Milwaukee in one day. Gen will be sadly missed by us and will be remembered for her help in George's time of need.
