    Mothers can be so special and when they are special, it is evident in the special people they give us. So, because you are special Larry, it stands by my reasoning that your mum was special too. I'm certain you will miss her and your mother son talks. Your brother by another mother, Phil

    She will be truly missed by both her nephew and family. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal... but love leaves a Memory that no can steal.

    Larry and Lana, we are all so glad that we had the opportunity to know and spend time with Geneva, even though it was some time ago. She was a sweet lady and an accomplished one. We are thinking of you.

    Sorry to hear about Geneva. Have a lot of fond memories of her from the Dutch Treat. With Sympathy to the family.

    She was a patient, kind lady with whom I had the pleasure of working for at the Dutch Treat Restaurant when I turned 16. She was a joy to work for and I learned so much as her employee. May she rest in peace.
