What a blessing this sweet lady was and her legacy continues through her amazing family. My prayers are with you all!
Your memories will always be in my heart. I am sorrowed with your passing but I also rejoice that you are setting at the banquet table of our Lord Jesus Chris. You surely will be missed. Rose Rhoads Columbia, SC
Just seeing her picture made me smile! She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. I’m looking forward to seeing her again in heaven. God’s comfort and Blessings to all the family.
Dear Sue and Linda (I never got used to calling you Zoe): I was saddened to see Aunt Genny’s obituary in today’s Pottstown Mercury. Sue’s Christmas letter was not optimistic, but we always hope and pray for the best. May she rest in peace with Uncle Dick and Don. Our sincere sympathy to both of you and to your families. Please let us know when the memorial service will be held here. Terry and Donna Knox
