So Sorry for your loss Lori and family. I didn't realize she passed on to Glory so soon after your father passed on. God's Blessings, Glory, Honor Talents and Comfort be on and all around you all, as you carry on her wonderful legacy. Kelly told me where to go to find her obituary. I remember you telling me much of what was there. What a sweetheart as you all are. I really value your love and friendship for us and we Love you! Mim

My sympathies to all of Genevieve's family in their time of grieving. What a beautiful lady! What a lucky family to have had her all these years. I always knew she was a kind, caring person but after reading the well written obituary, I was just amazed. What a tribute to her. We should all be more like Genevieve....what a wonderful place the world would be. She reached out and gave to so many. I can see clearly how her granddaughter Jill is following in her footsteps. I met her years ago at the First United Methodist Church in Hancock. We were new members there and she stood out as being the most welcoming and accepting. She would always grab my hand to say hello and that made me feel so welcomed in a new church. God bless her and all of you.

My love and prayers to Linda & David, Lori and her family, to Jill and husband and to all the Ponnikas family. Gen was an inspiration to me when i first moved to Coburntown, laura introduced us and i remember her giving me my first Living Bible. Joined her bible studies and later joined the ladies choir and sang at Michigan Tech and other churches. She always had a smile and a warmth for caring for other people. I got the chance to visit her and Wally when they lived in Heritage Manor and she showed me pictures of her kids and grandchildren, she just adored her family. Just a beautiful lady with a big heart. Gods peace and comfort during this time. <3

What a testimony of faith, Lori. I can see how you took your first steps with Christ. May God bless and keep you and Gary and the whole family. May you feel the peace of God through the gift of the Holy Spirit. I already know that your are singing 'I can only Imagine," while your mom, Genevieve dances at Jesus feet.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
