Geneva was always beautiful. I remember in my young years and getting off the school bus with Joan at Geneva's house. She was outside working on her flowers. She was dressed beautifully, hair and make up done and I thought she was dressed for Church. As the years passed on knowing Geneva, she was always dressed like this.
When Adrian was little and she would see him, she would start toward him. He would close his eyes because he knew "neva" was going to pinch his chubby cheeks. And then they hugged and he was wearing lip prints on his cheek.
I called Geneva one day and asked if she could come help me a couple of days at CCA. I don't remember how many years this turned out to be. We had a lot of fun together over those many years.
Geneva was always an example of love, kindness and caring for other people.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your loss.
