Mom, you will be missed and I love you so dearly. I hope you know how loved you were, not just be me, but everyone that knew you? You had the biggest heart of anyone I know. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Without you behind me in everything I did, I wouldn’t have succeeded. I can still hear you cheering for me during my sports games, clapping at my graduation, and our Mom and Son dance at my wedding. I have so many lovely memories of you that will stay with me until we meet again. I will miss your infectious smile, and I will always and forever love you immensely.
Geneva was my cousin, the youngest child of my Aunt Petra. I do hate losing cousins. Although I only have one sister, I do have a lot of cousins. Genveva will be missed. Condolences to everyone in the family.
These pics capture her so beautifully well. I have many memories of her growing up. I do hate living so far away that I didn’t get to visit you all more. Aunt Geneva we love you ♥️
Geneva was my best friend growing up. we lived close enough to walk to each other‘s house, well, guess go rain swimming in the old mine pits in the summer then going to her house for those amazing homemade tortillas her mama made. I remember Jesse, Juanita, Junior, Paul, and Geneva. We all ran around together. May my friend rest in sweet peace. My condolences and prayers for the rest of the family.
To live on in the hearts of those we leave behind, is to never die…💐
Oh, I’m so sorry about Geneva. I have good memories of her when growing up and going to school. I loved her presence of friendship. I rode the school bus with her and, though she was a a couple of years younger, we played together at recess and throughout Junior High and High School. She was just a very nice person and I will always remember her friendship. My sympathy and sorrow goes to her family and friends.
A friendship bond of 32 + years of mutual unconditional love. Geneva had a heart of gold giving so much of herself without asking for any kind of acknowledgement in return. She was not just a friend and although we were not blood related, she was my sister. Kenny & Geneva became part of our family. Throughout the years we shared and made many beautiful memories. Now cherished memories that I will hold dearly embedded in my heart. From our travels together, fishing, family functions or just simply enjoying each others company sitting in our homes. Till we see each other again. RIP 🙏 ❤️
Geneva and I met over 40 years ago working at Central Hardware’s office in Bridgeton, MO. This was a friendship that never ended. She came with me to multiple events and I can’t begin to count the lunches we had together. We also included our husbands for dinner many times, (Kenny and Ivory). Our sons were born the same year so we always had good conversations and the girls (Rebeca and Linda) was included with what was happening. She loved everyone and will always have a spot in my heart. May God bless the family. I’m always here for you.
