I have fond memories of Aunt Genevieve and Uncle Kerney. She ;made ;the most beautiful wedding cakes and the little cakes with the doll in the center and the skirt was the cake. Most of all she was so kind to our mother when our dad passed away and along with Aunt Shirley they all became wonderful friends. We will miss you. We are praying for you – Dale, Diane and Lila.
