  2. 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!

  4. 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….

  5. CandleImageGenna Rose, it was a pleasure to get to work with you and to have had the opportunity to know you. May you Rest In Peace, you will be missed 🌹

  7. CandleImageGenna,
    I love you so much. I am going to miss hearing from you. Give Taylor a big hug from me.

  8. CandleImageGenna was a blessing in my life. She lit up a room everytime she walked in. Addiction is a disease that all it does is take. The gift of sobriety opens the door to love and tolerance that never leaves the soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need

  9. 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

  10. 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
