    Sarah Campbell Stevens

    My Aunt Genelle was a strong, independent woman that was sometimes obscured by her very unassuming manner. In her last years I was always amazed by her tenacity in the face of the sure decline of her health; her warm welcome; and her solid assurance of her faith that a better place waited to welcome her. I believe she is embraced, enfolded, and comforted by arms of love and deep peace. And, I am grateful. ~ Sarah Campbell Stevens, Sherman, Texas
