Dick and family we are so sorry to hear of Georgie's passing. I go back many years to the Coachmen Auto Club when we were all young. She was a lot of fun to be around and always very pleasant. Rest in pace. Prayers to the family.

Richard, Tim, Lisa, and Leslie...
I have known you all for 30+ years, and feel as if you are all a part of my extended family. Even though she was sleeping, I feel blessed to have been to the house for a visit the evening prior to Georgie's passing...she will be deeply missed.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this tough time of grieving.
May God Bless you all,
