So sorry hear of her passing. We used to get cards for holidays from Genny and Jim. Genny always wrote…”.Don’t worry, be happy. ” Rest in peace Genny. Hugs to her family

Oh, Auntie Genny, how I will miss you when I come home to visit. My heart is broken. I truly treasure our phone call just a few weeks ago, knowing now it was our last. Your laugh, your positivity, your larger-than-life personality, always heartfelt, your faith in our Lord, are only a few attributes I have always loved and admired. I cherish the bond we shared the first 11 years of my life. Always…Don’t worry, be happy! Our hearts go out to you, Uncle Jim, Tammy and Brenda. Love always and forever, Debbie & Steve
We will miss you dearly Auntie Genny. Our deepest condolences Jim, Tammy and Brenda. You have a beautiful guardian Angel above that will remind you ‘don’t worry, be happy’.
All our love,
Rob (Robbie) and Julie & family ~
We are so sad to hear of Genny’s passing. We so missed her at the Deluxe Christmas Luncheon as it wasn’t the same – and will never be. “Don’t worry – be Happy” was such a wonderful notation to receive from her. Our hearts go out to you, Jim and your family.
