As a kid we often visited "Aunt" Georga's house in Pacifica on Modoc Place. I remember when I was five I would ride around on her dogs back, his name was Rocky. I last talked to Georgia a few yrs ago when I visted her on Modoc. I have alot of good memories there ad regret not going back to visit. Georgia passed away three weeks before my father did. Im sure dad was amazed to find Georgia "over there" on arrival as we were unaware she passed in November 2010. I just learned today she passed .
