I am sad to learn of Gena’s death. I fondly remember her as a smart and beautiful girl who befriended everyone. Gena, along with others, made gym class tolerable. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and classmates.

Such sad news. I met Gena in the third grade at Newton Estates and can never forget how her warm smile and equally warm personality could brighten any day. Rest in peace Gena. Gordon (Eddie) Hines
