Geneva had many fine qualities. She was a hard worker, helpful to her co workers and troubleshooter, very dependable and qualified, plus being a good friend to me and my wife Jan. I will miss her smiles and words of encouragement that we shared at our gatherings at the Grand Villa. Our prayers and thoughts go out to your friends and family.
