The world lost a beautiful person in the passing of Geneva, but God gained a precious angel in Heaven.
Geneva and Bob were such good neighbors to my Mother and Dad! Geneva knew my Mom loved salmon patties (and my Dad hated them) so she would always bring her one when she fixed them for Bob and herself. They looked after each other when their husbands were gone. Love you Geneva. Rest in peace
Aunt Geneva was a sweet and kind person and a special sister to my mom, Edna. Now the two of them are together in Heaven.
I remember it seemed like Bob and Geneva went everywhere together. She missed him terribly when he was gone. Heaven must be filled to bursting with happiness now that they are together again. I will miss them both but for a while. Troubles are over! Glory here she comes!
I always thought that Geneva and Bob were already God’s Angels here among us. Always had smiling faces and kind words. I know their family will miss them. So sorry for your loss; so happy that they are with our Lord.
