Genya Liakos was a loving, caring, and wonderful person and she was my brother Steve's best friend. The two of them went through a lot over the decade-plus since they first met, but throughout it all he absolutely loved her in a selfless and unconditionally caring way. Over the last couple years, she truly became part of our family and all of us are stunned and incredibly heartbroken. One of the biggest regrets I will ever have is that I didn't get to know her as well on an individual level as I wish I did, but I am also forever thankful for the time I did get to spend with her, and from that time I got to know her as an amazing person who through everything managed to maintain such a positive outlook, great sense of humor, and unwavering level of support for others. She will always remain a part of all of our hearts.
Gen, I will always remember the conversation we had a few weeks ago and be inspired by your positivity and perseverance.
Rest in peace Genya, we love you and we miss you.

Genya Liakos was a bright and beautiful soul, always cheerful, curious, loving... but just as the brightest candles burn too fast, her life was too short. She lived life enthusiastically, and though my time with her was a brief two years, she became the sister I never had... and I will always love her as such till the end of my days. Rest in peace sis'.
