I didn't know Genie well, but she was very kind to me and I'm so sad to hear she's no longer with us. I'd like to send condolences to her partner too....

That is such sad news, Genie was a lovely lady and I will miss her on here and on Facebook. She had a great sense of humour and wasn't afraid to say what she thought. She had a kind word for everyone and I'm sure there are a lot of people who benefited  from her help and advice

My thoughts are with her friends and family.

Sleep safe Genie.   :-*

I hope this isn't thought to be irreverent but this is the photo I always think of as Genie .... having fun, laughing at herself .... irrepressible.
