Saddened that Aunt Geneva has passed, we wish we could be there with you physically, but my husband had a stroke last year and that limits our travels, hopefully, you will understand. Please know we have all of you in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers. Sending our love to all of you. Sharon

We send our love and prayers to the family and friends of Geneva Lell. She was quite a woman! Being her neighbor for over 30 years has been an honor and a privilege. Some of our fondest memories of Geneva were her visits to fish in our pond. She was a VERY competitive and fun fisherwoman! Boy could she cook! Rest in peace, lovely lady!
