Dear Grover: I remember meeting Genela back in the early 90's when we all lived in Dallas. Penny met her at a networking event and gushed about how nice she was. Suggested we should invite you guys over for dinner. I remember that day. I grilled and we sat outside and talked for a few hours. Genela had the voice of an angel. So gentle and sweet. Fast forward to a few years ago when we spent at weekend with you guys at your home. We had the BEST time just hanging out together. Truly enjoyed relaxing and about our kids and plans for the future. The love you guys had for each other was palpable and inspiring. Will lift up you, Courtney and Tiffany up as you pass through this season. I know your hearts are comforted knowing that Genela is with our heavenly father. Love, Gilbert & Penny Jones
