Miss Geneva was a Grand Lady, always smiling and so friendly. She and my mother worked together at one time and I was in the same class as Clarisse. Anytime I saw her out and about, I would ask "How's that Clarisse doin" and she would beam and say "Oh she's doin good, still down there in Texas. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. May God bless each of you with warm beautiful memories to ease your sorrow.
