Sending condolences to Georgiana's adopted family and relatives. She was a lovely lady, always with a ready smile. I knew her for many years as an active member of National Society of New England Women. We used to meet in VT for our annual Congress and she was with us very often. Her smile has been missed in recent years, but she is remembered by many of us very fondly. Blessings to her loved ones and friends.
