"Genevieve was my grandmother, it was no secret that her and I were close. I will miss her dearly. I miss my phone ringing and hearing her voice to see how my day has went. I will never forget her even though her death was so sudden I honestly thought she would outlive all of us. She is reunited with her husband now my grandfather free of pain and suffering. There will not be a day that goes by that I wont think of her..."
In loving memory of
Genevieve Ida Carlson
