I am sad to hear about Georgeannas passing. She was a paragon of grace, class and elegance. Her parties and presence were always first-class. Always looking chic, she put the finishing touch on the wonderful spirit of her community. Growing up in the Melkite Church, Georgeanna was a real leader among the diocese. She and Blanche have been pillars of the community. I will remember her warm welcomes to St. Basil. Allah yerhama, memory eternal!

One of my favorite scriptures that aides me when I'm troubled is "When anxieties overwhelmed me, You comforted and soothed me. Ps.94:19". I hope you find it as comforting as well. My sincere condolences.
