  1. I did water aerobics at the East Y with Genelle and her sister Patti. I so enjoyed them and their friendship. I also enjoyed their Christmas market that they had with their other sister.
    My deepest sympathy to the family

  2. Rick,
    My deepest sympathy to you and the girls on the death of Genelle. You’ve lost a beautiful wife/mother and I assure you of my heartfelt prayers at this most difficult time. I will let Sister Mary Ruth know of this news so they will be praying as well. She and Erin were friends throughout school just as Sarah and Lara. There really are no words to console you, but our loving and merciful Lord Jesus Christ will be by your side as you navigate the next leg of your journey.
    God bless!

  3. I am so sorry to hear of Genelle’s passing. She was such a sweet lady. I enjoyed the Christmas Markets at your home and purchased a lot of Pampered Chef from her. I was happy to discover that we are family since her father and my mother were cousins. She will be missed by many.
