I am a third cousin of GeorgieAnna - my
great-grandmother was a Willeroy. I have known GeorgieAnna for a long time.
She was such a beautiful,kind,caring & very genteel Lady. She, Emily and my Family had many fun times together.

I want you to know that I pray that God will bring you comfort and Peace in
your hearts knowing that Georgie Anna is now - herself - at Peace and free of all illness.

We are comforted by the knowledge that
she is now in her Heavenly Home. May
God Bless you and your Family in the days and weeks ahead knowing that she
is where she has worked all of her life
to be - walking with God forevermore.

May God Bless...........Pam Martin

I remember Jo! We worked together many years ago at a Richmond law firm. I was in my 20s then, and Jo made a real impression on me. I remember Jo as a very kind woman, gracious, beautiful, warm and caring. I remember how Jo loved her family, and just how nice she was. People come through our lives and a few, like Jo, stand out. I know she will be missed by all.
