The Geneva flag at City Hall was lowered to half-staff May 24 in memory of Geneva resident Caitlin Gallagher, 17, who died May 17.
Caitlin was a junior at Geneva High School. The City received permission from the Gallagher family to honor their daughter with this tribute. Caitlin's obituary can be found online.
Subsequently, flags across the country were lowered later May 24 in remembrance of the 19 students and two teachers who were killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
The City of Geneva expresses its condolences to the Gallagher and the Texas victims' families on their losses.
