    Condolences to the family from Geneva’s high school classmates, the Crooms Academy High School Extraordinary Class of 1963 in Sanford, FL. We were the best of friends in high school and have fond memories of our high school days and beyond. All three of the Goodens, the twins Geneva and Jeanette and Albert were in our class and we have fond memories of our school days. We pray God’s blessings of comfort for the bereaved family. With love and sympathy, Sheralyn Jackson Brinson (Donnie), Class Reunion President (407-321-4881).

    Lady Jenerette had a heart of gold. She loved her family, her church family, taking care of other people, even when she was in need herself. As our first lady, She demonstrated how to handle adversity with grace. As I look over at the corner where she sat in the church, she will always be remember as the “fancy dressed” lady with the huge smile. You will always be remembered and missed. We love you.
