Read MoreI was just thinking of Aunt Georgie this morning. Such an amazing woman! Aunt Georgie met the challenges of homestead life cheerfully. I remember she wanted to bake a pie. Having no ingredients for a filling, she made "mock apple pie" from soda crackers. It was surprisingly delicious. So many wonderful memories of a strong, loving woman linger. Love you always!

My most sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May the God of loyal love comfort you during your time of sorrow. May God's word provide you strength and comfort at this difficult time. "He heals the brokenhearted; and binds up their wounds". Psalms 147:1. "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress". Psalms 46:1.

There are so many memories...your mom always accepted me more like another member of the family than a friend. Some of the things that trigger many other memories are: salmon smoking, then being canned; borrowing jars for bee keeping; gardens; the boat; the "new" house; Soldotna creek; the Jeep Wagoneer; the smell of aviation fuel; root beer; your going away party and so many more.

My sweet Auntie! I will always treasure memories from the homestead; staying with you all in Anchor Point & coming down with the measles; getting whipped in pinocle (How was it she won ALL the time?!); and I will never forget how lovingly you comforted my brother Steve in the last stages of cancer. Aunt Georgie, you were one remarkable lady! I love you always...

I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to have special moments with Aunt Georgie. I loved hearing her stories of adventures shared with Grandma Sharon and other family members. I am sure Aunt Georgie and Grandma Sharon are keeping everyone in stitches, now that they are together again. I am gladdened for the time spent playing penacle with her and Uncle Harlon. I will miss her witty personality and her warm embrace. I love you Aunt Georgie and I'll miss you, until we meet again. Please...
