We sang in the Voices of Praise at Prince Chapel A.M.E. in Tucson, AZ. My daughter, Anais, and Jonathan were friends. She was a beautiful. God fearing woman. Genevia rest peacefully with God.

The thing I remember most about Genny was when you talk to her, you knew she would make you feel like you were the most important person in the world. Her personality and the fact that she was one of many reasons people felt at ease when in her presence. I am grateful for the opportunity to know Genny who was a good friend. Her love for her children , church and friends was undeniable. You will be remembered but not forgotten.
