"Genry and Patty were hardworking, loving people who devoted their lives to their family, their faith, and their community. They were deeply involved in their church and were always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Their kindness, strength, and unwavering faith touched so many lives, and the world is darker without their bright lights in it."
