After joining ERWC I learned my mom, Doris Baine and Genevieve were friends and enjoyed many trips together and art. She was a stunning lady, interesting and quite enjoyable to be in her presence. She was always dressed to the 9's and was an incredibly beautiful individual. She will be greatly missed by our women's group and by me.

So sorry for your loss, God bless your family in this time of grieving and transition on learning to live with a loving memory.

Genny was a lovely and dedicated member of our Women’s Club. She was active and always there when she was needed. She will be missed. Victoria Long -President
