Jenice, Trudy and Paul, I am very sorry to hear about Auntie Jeannie's death. I wish I could have been at the services but I heard too late. My deepest sympathies to all of you. I have very fond memories of the times spent at your house and of your Mom and Dad. It was always fun to hear your Mom and my Dad bantering back and forth. Please contact me if you have a chance. With love and sympathy, your cousin Terry Bartlett Hoglund.

It was my privilege to meet Genevieve in Sept. I wish I could have known her better & longer. She must have been a wonderful mother to have raised three children who cared so deeply for their mother. I was looking forward to having her as my mother-in-law.

May you Rest in Peace forever after a job so well done.

I always remember Mrs. Serra (as I called her) as being a wonderful, warm and sweet person. Trudy and I use to ride bikes together and play barbies in the piano room right outside the patio. Mrs. Serra was always a joy to be around and had kind words to express. May her family find comfort in the arms of the Lord and know that she loved them and will be watching down from heaven

May you rest in peace Mrs. Serra
