To the family of Georgette -- I'm sorry for your lost, you are in my prayers and thoughts during this time of sorrow. I pray that God will give you comfort in this time of need and keep you in His loving arms.
I thank Georgette for being a wonderful grandmother to my children and all her grandchildren. I know she loved them all very deeply. May God keep her safe in His arms until you all can see her again.
