Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of Genevieve.
When our father was sick with dementia and alltimers it was Genevieve who remembered Jack and myself
and made several calls to check up on us and offer advice and support.
As we know she was very caring and unselfish individual.
I mostly enjoyed the stories Geniveve wopuld tell about her days out east and some family history.
A person with a great sense of humor and good in social environments.
I am especially happy that we were able to see her and the family at her recent birhtday party.
Love to all and sorry about the loss.

Dear Surselys All, I'm thinking of my friend Gen who was a good neighbor and friendly person around Realife. May she rest in peace. As stated in the obituary, she was a loving Mother whose family came first, it seemed, whether it was a graduation or wedding or some smaller gathering. She would tell me about the salad or fruit bowl she was preparing. Let your happy memories come forth as you go through the grieving. I will send my memorial gift to Realife. With prayers, lovingly Jane Dowd.
