Our Dearest Genny was my godmother. It was always fun staying with her and she always had funny stories about my dad. I would always believe her. I will always miss you Genny...

I have many wonderful memories of Aunt Jenny. I remember staying at Little Grandmas for a couple of weeks during the summer months. One summer Jenny took me to the Music Circus to see Carousel. I will never forget that evening. For a 13 year old from a little town, that was the most amazing performance. She was a wonderful and caring aunt who I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with in my younger years. Thank you Jenny for all the wonderful memories.

I have so many fond memories of all of my aunts, but Genny in particular. One time while staying with my sister Mary Lou in San Jose, Genny was staying there too. Genny sat down with me and showed me how to give myself a manicure (I was probably about 13 or so) and told me to take care of my hands and nails. She was always in a great mood and had a fun personality. My condolences to the Giles family on the passing of a wonderful lady.
