I have known Geneva most all of my life. She was one of my Sunday School teachers...and lead me to Christ. She was the one I sat beside in church, introduced me to partaking of communion, and was there the day I was baptised. I will certainly miss stopping in to spend time with Geneva or to drop off things I had picked up for her. I am left with so many treasured memories of this dear, dear woman. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Our greeting to each other was "Hi Neighbor". How I am going to miss hearing that but I know she is in a much better place. Anyone reading this that doesn't know Jesus as their personal saviour, I would encourage you to get to know Him. Don't you want to see Geneva again in Heaven? I know I will!! God Bless!
