Genevieve was about eight when we first met her. She was a stand out in Awana’s Club at Calvary Baptist Church because of her eager attention, alertness, cooperative actions, and her passionate, intelligent and sensitive character.
I will always remember her bright eyes, her happy smile and her knowledge of the Bible by her ready correct answers.

We continued to watch Genevieve grow throughout her elementary and junior high years and into her high school through our youth & church activities and having her at her home. She was always outgoing, loved humor and always had a heart for and would come along side those that needed a friend.

Genevieve has been in our home and on short trips with me many times. From Southeastern Guide Dogs to Dolphin Tails in Clearwater, to trips to the nursing home to help at church with youth and babysitting in the nursery to Revive Florida, to time in our home baking or swimming in pool or paddle boarding or driving back-and-forth to Bible Study Fellowship where she attended the youth study and to many restaurants and meals we enjoyed together, Genevieve had spunk, compassion and was a delight to so many! I truly love her and will miss her!
She overcame tremendous hardships (prior to her adoption) and I admired her ability to bring out the best in people that most needed others to believe in them.

She was a fine young woman who was a good friend to many, With many talents and a bright future.

My heart leapt to hear of her unexpected passing. I will always treasure her memory and the many talks we had and the Macaroons we made together.
My heart and prayers are with her family and all who knew her.
Til we see you with Jesus... my love to you and yours!

We trust that God will work out everything for good for those who love him (Romans 8:28).

Genevieve helped me when I had no friends at manatee high school. I had come from manatee school of the arts and started over completely. We were on raiders team together and she would make me laugh the whole Practice. She was strong and crushed her goals. I remember giving her a ride home from practice one day and she was so thankful over the smallest gesture I could give.
Her parents raised a genuine and real person that was and is so in touch with love and kindness. I will love her and have a place in my heart for her forever.

Diabetes Awareness

Feeling PISSED OFF.. as we are parents that live in Sarasota, FL, and lost a child to diabetes as they said our son age 1 had the flu. Not once but twice they sent him home.
Our heart breaks for your family. No words can describe how it feels to lose a child.

Too many are APATHETIC> showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm, or concern of diabetes awareness. We need more diabetes awareness. We love the diabetic camps as well. RIP Genevieve

I met Genny her freshman year at Manatee in my English class. She was always such a joy and brought enthusiasm, sincerity, and great conversations to our class. I loved seeing her around campus and catching up with her in the years after since we no longer saw each other daily. Her big heart and radiant smile meant a lot to so many, including me. She will be truly missed, but her positive impact and influence on others will certainly live on in many of us. She was a special young woman for sure.

My thoughts, hugs, and prayers are with her family. I am so sorry for your loss. Her presence at Manatee will be missed.

With love,
Mrs. Daria Zoller
