Jim and Patrick You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mom and grandmother. She certainly was everything her obituary said. I am sure she went straight to heaven to rest in peace. Much Love, one of Gen's best friends, Therese

"Aunt Gen" married my Uncle John when I was age 9. It was a lucky day for Uncle John and for the entire Keough family. She loved people, and people loved her. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. I will miss her goodness and her obvious enjoyment of life. She was thankful for the fact that her son welcomed her into his home when her health began to fail about 15 years ago. God bless Jim and his son, Patrick, for their devotion to her.
