Condolence: Genieve was a poet friend of mine at Binghamton University and beyond. She was more talent and light wrapped up into a single soul that only radiated light. She was the most alive person I have ever known, and she never took a moment for granted. Especially striking is Genevieve’s empathy. I also have never known anyone with more empathy than herself, and it translated into all she did, continues to do. I do not consider passing a final end by any stretch of the imagination. Her beauty, selflessness, talent, and brilliant insight should resonate in every breath we take. I believe she is listening. Genevieve, I didn’t know. I wish we could write another poem together. Send Christie my love and I will write an addendum to our poem and it will echo. It will infinitely last. I will reach the two of you and please know how much I loved Christie, how much I loved you, and we will see each other again and write a poem for the Gods. My heart, Genevieve, my heart. All is full of love.

Condolence: I am still thinking each day of Genevieve. What a great smile, a full heart, and a grand person. She is one who influences many without even knowing it. I hope, through people's words and the many pictures, that the Colluras can see who she was when she was away from them: One in a million.

Condolence: Some of my most cherished memories are of Genevieve and I as kids playing on the Schroon River Road in Warrensburg. I always looked forward to her visiting each summer. She was such a fun loving person. Although we've lost touch over the years, I still think of her often. I'm so very sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to the whole family. Her kind spirit will will surely be missed but I know she will be watching over us all ❤

Condolence: To the family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Genevieve was a beautiful person inside and out. I got to know her a few years ago when she taught my daughter in 2nd grade. Such a wonderful and caring woman and teacher. I know she will watch over her family and friends.
My sincerest condolences to all.

Condolence: Although I have been away from PS 205 for over 2 years, my memory of Genevieve has never dimmed. She was a bright light, beautiful inside and out. I admired, respected and loved her. She possessed so many wonderful qualities, and I know there is a world of people, including me, who are grateful to have known her and heartbroken at her loss. I am so deeply saddened and so sorry for those suffering over this loss. My prayers and caring thoughts I send to her family and friends.

Condolence: The greatest compliment I ever received was when Genevieve said I was a lot like her. I only wish it was more true. Whether when visiting her classroom or planning for our presentation at NCTM or conspiring to write more math books or sharing poetry and art, I always was stunned by her enthusiasm, her wisdom, her delight, her caring, her laughter and her belief that anything was possible. My heart goes out to Linda, Tino, John and the rest of her family.
