I join with others today to mourn the death and celebrate the life of Sister Gen. I remember Gen especially from the time she was a member of the SA Catholic Adult Education Service Team and also as a spiritual director. Gen was an amazing teacher and faithful friend. Gen you will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to Gen’s family and friends.
Remembering Gen with great affection after many years travelling SA with her as part of Catholic Adult Education Service she was a great friend and companion.
Remembering Gen a true friend, kind and generous and a beautiful mentor to a young country girl. We share the name Genevieve and we share a birthday. I remember fondly our time together as part of the Catholic Adult Education Service Team. Will always be remembered in my heart.
Dear Gen, a most beautiful woman. I grieve her passing but know she if now where her heart and mind and body are truly free. Thank you Gen for the person you've been for so many Religious women.
Rest in Peace dearest Sister Gen. You were always very kind to me xoxo. Sending love and prayers. Lis
