    My special friend, Genevieve, will always be in my heart. She was a faith-filled, generous, loving person who touched many lives during her lifetime. Now united with her husband Dick as well as with other dear family members, she can now be content.

    Peace and comfort to all of her family as you celebrate a life well lived.
