Danny and Stephen (as I knew you) I am truly sorry that I just learned about this web site and that Sister Geneva passed away. Guys she has always been so wonderful to me all my life. No matter what she accepted and showed me love. She would call me "her little Linda". Out of the blue she would call just to tell me she was thinking, praying and missing me. What a precious person we had to loose, but at least we all know where she is.
All my thoughts and prayers are with you,
Linda (Williams) Gongre
Steve, I'm so sorry to read about your mom--what a great lady! My condolences to you and your family.
I've been away from WM for a long time but Mrs. McDaniel was my Sunday School teacher at First Assembly. She was so kind. So sorry to hear of her passing. God bless and comfort her family.
My prayers go out to the family of Geneva. She was such a Wonderful Christian lady. Our family went to church with her for many years in West Memphis. She was a dear friend to my mother. I will never forget her.
Prays and thoughts,
Gail
Chuck,
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
My condolences go out to the entire family of Geneva .Her and Woodrow was a part of my family and will be missed forever.
Charles and Billie McDaniel
I am so sad to hear about Ms. Geneva. I missed her when she moved to LIttle Rock because we alwas sat together in church. My prayers and thoughts go out to her family. Save me a "seat in Heaven" Ms. Geneva.
We will miss this sweet lady in our church. She was always an inspiration to us. We love you, Mrs. Geneva.
We were neighbors for over 20 years. Missed her when she moved to Little Rock, and miss her now.
She was a wonderful person and we loved her dearly.
My deepest condolences over the loss of Gevena. Cherish your memories. Keep them close to your heart. Draw close to God in prayer. He is a comforter of all those who mourn. In His Word the Bible God tells us of a brighter future when our loved ones will awake from their restful sleep to enjoy life in paradise. Psalms 37:11,29; Matthew 5:5; John 11:11, 21-26. At that time we will be reunited with them. What a joyful time that will be when we are able to embrace our loved ones again = this time never having to say goodbye. Revelation 21:3,4. Many are finding solace in this promise. I pray that you will also. Loving thoughts and prayers of peace are with you.
Geneva was a wonderful Christian lady. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
