I will dearly miss my Aunt Geneva.
She was the most kindness & loving
person I know.I can just see her
now rejoyceing with Jesus and all
her family. With my Aunt Jesse my
Aunt Wanda & my mother Eloise, and
so on. Oh what a wonderful time
they must be having.
Death leaves a heartache
only Jesus can heal.
Love leaves us memories
no one can steal.
