I don't think it would have been a birthday without Geneva's chocolate cake. I loved talking with her in Lynda's kitchen. Geneva was a gentle, wise and kind woman who celebrated her family in everything she did. She was inclusive and warm, deeply sincere and thoughtful. I am unable to attend the funeral because of school, but I have been keeping you all in my prayers. I look forward to seeing Geneva in heaven.
