Mrs. Avra was a resident at Heritage while my mom was. I saw her every day. You never saw Mrs. Geneva when she wasn't smiling. She was such a beautiful woman. My prayers are with her family during their loss.

I remember running around her house with her sons in my teen years as though I was part of the family and was treated as such. She was a very loving person who loved her family with all her heart. She never abandoned them under some of the most trying circumstances. May God bless the whole family during this time of her passing to her place in Heaven that she has surely earned !!!
