A museum note with the doll reads "Genevieve preserved her doll in mint condition until Rosalie acquired it from her in the early 2000s when Genevieve was in her 90s. It was said at her funeral that Genevieve was larger than life and that 'she died, as fitting for her, on Christmas itself, in order to get in one great party in Heaven'."
