I'll bet Nova and Dorothy have a table reserved waiting for Tom and I to come, calling out "Deal the Cards!"

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Family.

What a sweet lady. We often rode to square dances together and shared girl talk. I will miss her very much.

Gilda, Helene and Alan - I remember your mom from our childhood days when you lived next door to me. I always liked your mom, and I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

When we meet up yonder, I'd be pleased if Nova was my Corner. Then I'd have a great corner and get some good yellow Rocks and a sweet Awww! Frank!

From one Square Dancer to another

Love, Frank Genova
