Charanavant Georgia A. Lewis

There was in our town, more than fifty years ago, a small sandy spot in a sliver of valley silt loam where classes of youngsters would be taken to practice their leaping skills. Georgia outjumped us all. Some of the boys were perplexed by Georgia, slight and very fast. I remember her face, with that inimitable look of the intelligence and focus by which mastery shall be achieved. Then she accelerated in the first summer sun of the day, across freshly trimmed grass still dewy from the foggy...

Dear Jesse, Aunt Pearl, Florence and John, Jay, Marie, Melissa, Mindy, Monica and Joseph, and extended family and friends:

Georgia was such an inspiration. She fought long and hard and had such strength and grace even on the darkest days. Knowing she has passed to place without pain and sickness or suffering is her reward. She will continue to live on in our memory.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

With deepest sympathy,
Kathy and Kees deVogel,

Georgia's family is in our thoughts and prayers. Although I haven't seen Georgia in a long time, I spent so much time there with Kelly that I just can't believe she is gone but she will never be forgotten.

We share your loss. My deepest condolences.

We were all blessed with Georgia's gift of graciousness and kindness.

We will miss you. She is and always will be an inspiration to me and my family.

Thank you to the family for coming into our lives and sharing yourselves with our family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Georgia and her family. Your cousin Pauline is one of my dearest friend and since she is so special I think your whole family must be so also. God bless all of you.

Dear Georgia,

It has been such a privilege to have known you in this life. I so admired you for your intelligence, strength, tenacity, wisdom, caring and commitment to living with integrity.

We’ve shared so many good times: Boston, Corning, Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Augustine, Gulf Shores, Utica, Route 26, 38B and the many, many roads in between. Your physical presence will be missed, but you will always be a part of me.

You were very special to Juliana and Siena. ...

"What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited -
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit."

Thinking of all of you and hoping that the days ahead bring peace in knowing that Georgia's memory will live forever.

Dear Aunt Pearl, Florence, Jay and Jesse, our heartfelt sympathy to all of the family. Georgia was an inspiration to us in her intelligence,committment, integrity, faith and determination. Her valiant struggle with cancer gave us all hope and faith. Florence, you did a heroic loving task in being there for your sister. Jesse, I remember how proud your mom was at your graduation. Her eyes just sparkled with pride and joy. You are her greatest legacy and I know her spirit will be with you...

Pearl and family, Altho we are unable to be with you at this sad time in your lives, we will be with you in thought and prayer.
