Georgie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know you both very well, but Bobby Cameron always talked so highly of you like you were family. I know your husband is in heaven with Bob looking down on you and watching over you. God Bless you and my deepest sympathy to you and your family

Georgie,
I am so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. I will be sure to tell Buffy about it. Perhaps he and Robbie are playing in the heavenliest of marching bands now. I am so sorry for your loss. God be with you at this terrible time.
