So sorry for your loss. I knew Genevieve through my Aunt Margie and Uncle Babe Morris. I remember Doy and Maybelle living just a little ways from them over at Alread, or there abouts off hwy 16. Anyway, lots of memories flood my mind. I remember the square dances at Babe's and I remember 2 little girls, Debbie and Sharon. I saw where Debbie had passed away. Sorry to hear that too. Sharon I remember you were about 4 or 5 maybe I'm not sure. I'm sorry to hear about Genevieve, may God give you strength and peace. Love your memories, and stay strong.
