Great Aunt Gen... She made me feel so loved. I will always remember my time spent with her, and will alway remind my children what a wonderful sweet lady she was, I just wish they could have met her and got to know and love her the way I did.

My dear, sweet Aunt Gen ... where would I be today without her in my life ? She helped me and supported me at some of the worst times. She helped me to see that God had a plan and many reasons for my losses. She was right in so many ways. I will never forget the many giggles we shared when she attempted to show my how to crochet my own potholders! (I still have the famous Big Boy tarter sauce & thousand island recipes that she made exclusively for the restaurant chain.) She is now at peace and back to her "old self". My greatest comfort is that she is there with my father ... keeping her ever watchful eyes on him. May God continue to bless her and support all of us in our grief.

Aunt Gen was a wonderful lady filled with love and compasion. I will always remember the times that we spoke and the stories that we shared. We are comforted with the knowledge that she is in heaven with her much-loved family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We will miss Aunt Gen very much. I learned so much from her about canning fruit and vegetables when I was young and still continue to can today. I'll treasure all the gifts she gave me. I don't think I've ever bought a potholder. Love you all!
