I have very fond memories of working with Genevieve. She was such a kind and concerned person. She worked at keeping harmony among the staff at the IMC. Those of us who were fortunate enough to work with her would share memories when we got together. She will continue to be talked about with much respect.

I was very saddened to hear about Genevieve's death. I was her aide for last few years and I will miss her dearly. She was very smart, funny, awesome person. She gave really good advice!
