Mama...five years. My heart remains lost without you. I wish you had seen me as a GiGi. Oh those little ones certainly make life worth living, just like you said. Our girls are well. Ed is Ed! I love you my sweet mama.

Mama...two and a half years. Where are you? My life will never be the same. I need one more day. Oh mama....

January 29, 2017

It's been seven months mama. It is no easier today than it was then. I pray every night that I will dream about you, but I don't. I pray that I will "feel" you but I don't. All I feel is such deep regret. Did you know how much I loved you? Probably not because sometimes I wasn't very nice. Did you know how much I would miss you? Probably because you missed your mama too. I sit at your grave and just have a hard time thinking about facing 20 years without you. I pray that God will grant me grace to make it through and show me mercy for not telling you what you meant to me. Oh How I miss your brown hands. I love you mama. Please forgive me for not being a better daughter. Your girl, Susie

I am going to miss you Georgie, and all of our great conversations about food, love, friendship, and your faith....your deep undying faith. I will be forever grateful for all that you shared with me but most of all, your honesty.....Lord knows you were never afraid to be honest.
Brian and I will miss your laugh, your smile and the way you always made us smile. Thank you for reminding us to love and appreciate each other and how fortunate we were to have found each other. I am sad that you will not be sitting right up front on our wedding day, but I know you will be watching and smiling down on us all on our very special day.
As sad as I was when I learned of your passing, I know that you are in a place filled with love and peacefulness with no more pain and sadness. We will think of you often and miss you always...or at least until we meet again.
Rest and be at peace and know that a part of you will always and forever remain our hearts.

Georgie, you had a special way to make everyone you came in contact with feel as if they were your favorite. Always welcoming with a kiss that felt so sincere. I can hear your voice in my head saying "I Love You". You will not be forgotten. I'll see you again one day. Look after my Andrew. Love on him for me.

I met Georgie because she had her insurance at the agency where I work but counted her as a friend. I will miss her "hi sweetie" and "do you know how much I love you?" The world will be a much darker place without this dear one. Keeping Georgie's family in my thoughts and prayers.

Boy, what comforting words I am reading about my mama. Thank u all. Although I feel like I may never sleep again, breathe deep or enjoy a deep dish pizza again, I am praying that God's grace will ease this God-awful feeling that is haunting me. My mom loved so many people. Praise God for her faith, love and never ending optimism in spite of all of her pain. I love you mama.

My heart is truly broken over the loss of my dear friend Georgie. I'm going to miss her more than I can possibly say. I know her faith is strong and I truly believe that she is up in heaven today watching a Tigers game with my dad and her brother Ducky Oertel. She is happy and free of earthly burdens. No more illness...no more suffering. I am happy for her but I sure am going to miss her! Heartfelt prayers go out to her family and all who mourn her passing. God bless you Georgie Porgie! I love you!!

There was only one Georgie Girl...I'll miss you a lot my dear friend. Our talks were often and usually brief because , as everyone knew, her phone was always bursting with incoming calls. She never failed to end her call with "I love you" . Until we meet again, dear Georgie, " I love you". My prayers are with her loving family.

The Gift,

I have been blessed to be Georgie's therapist over many years, following surgeries, hospitalizations and failing health. But... the greatest gift is to be her friend! Georgie lived her life passionately with great faith in God and dedication to her friends and family.
It has been a blessing to share in Georgie's life. Often... God puts angels and situations in our life and we don't know the purpose or appreciate the greatness! I want to thank Georgie as she often would say , "I don't know what I would do without you, and do you know how much I love you?" I have never had any other patient tell me over and over how much they loved me! Lucky and blessed me! You see she was actually the gift and the relationship was not based on the therapy but, on a friendship that came from a very inspirational , loving and dedicated friend, mother and grandmother. I will always hold a very special place in my heart for Georgie and never forget her smile, big hug and words of wisdom. I pray for comfort , strength and many fond memories for her family and many friends!

God Bless,
Patty Jarvis

I met Georgie through work.. and she became so much more than a patient to me. We kept in touch even outside of work and my heart is aching that she has passed. I can't even imagine the pain her family is feeling. But Georgies faith was strong and I know she is with God shining down on us with that beautiful smile. She has left a huge impact on my life and she'll always be in my heart. Praying for peace and comfort for all of her loved ones!

July 8, 2014

It truly broke my heart to read about Georgie's passing. We met in 7th grade and have remained in touch for all those years. My heartfelt sympathy to her entire family ~
