I have many fond memories of Georgianna from the 1970's. What a wonderful laugh! And she did a great job keeping me out of trouble when I was a teenager!

My grandmother a women I’ll never forget and even though we were apart I thought about her often. She was so full of life but she meant business. She was a firm believer in education and doing what you were supposed to do. She always told me to grow up and be someone do great things with my life. I may not was always a good listener but that was one thing that stuck with me. I will always keep you in my heart❤
