Geneva and Jim were close friends of my parents. Dad and Jim played golf every week and the four of them had dinner often along with other fun activities. Geneva had a wonderful laugh and we shared fun times while drinking red wine. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Geneva will be missed.
Last Friday I lost a long-time dear friend. I first met her when I moved to Pleasant Grove in the sixth grade. Over the years we have talked regularly and recently rarely a week past that we didn't talk at least once. I listened as she spoke of her grandkids, shared her hurt when she lost a son, and in recent days fretted with her as she told me of the hospital and Doctor visits. I worried as she said, "I don't feel right." I listened as she told me what a blessing her daughter-in-law Kathy was and the care she provided. We often shared the importance of and the love we had for our dogs and her cat. Since Saturday when I heard the news I have thought of the times I would come to Dallas as we would share a meal, laugh about old times. Geneva was a special person, the friend I had that everyone should have. I miss her and know that she will always be in my memory. I pray for her family, friends, and the blessing of being close to her.
Geneva was such a joy to my Dad. After losing my mom after 46 years of marriage, I am so glad that he was able to have 10 happy years with her. Mike, Zachary, and I are praying for all of her friends and family members as we know everyone will miss her very much.
Blessings,
