Genna was a Warrior. She learned to fight every day of her life. Her family fought every day of her Substance Use Disorder with her. It is the worse disease that our world has ever seen, and hard to understand. Genna was a Warrior.
Prayers for the family. May beautiful Angels lead her into the Glorious Kingdom of God.
Love you all!
We are so sad for the loss of your Genna Rose. We are sending our love & prayers for God’s comfort during this very difficult time. We will continue to pray for you both and Luke as well.
June 13, 2022. Went to the Coyote Drive-in to go see the new Jurassic world movie. Haha turns out Genna and I were really bad at sitting through movies. We sat there in my truck for hours talking, laughing, two grown adults hiding the Chick-fil-A we snuck in from a 13 year old sercurity guard, just listening to music… making plans for the future. All I know is I knew her for a short time, but how lucky I am for the time I did have….
I love you so much. I am going to miss hearing from you. Give Taylor a big hug from me.
Tom, Nikki, and Luke. My heart breaks to hear the news of your loss of your daughter / sister. I hope you can find something beautiful to hold onto during this difficult time…perhaps a sweet memory of Genna, eachother, or a purpose greater than us. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Peace
May Gemma’s memory be eternal. God, grant this family peace and strength each day as they remember their precious daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. Let each tear bring healing. Help this family to reflect on the goodness of Gemma. May Gemma’s life be honored.
With all my love,
From a mother who lost her son too
You are not alone
