She was a devoted Catholic who was proud of her German roots. I'm so proud to call her my Grandma and I cherish all of the wonderful memories. I know she's smiling down at us from the other side with Grandpa Ray by her side.

Denise and family, I am sorry to hear about Aunt Geneva. I recently saw pictures of her in my grandmother Kate's wedding, as her maid of honor. Very pretty lady. Prayers to you all.
