Not sure what to say?





Goodbye (a hard part of life to bear) to our most special Georgette. I just always thought she would be here forever as I did my own mom. Most are blessed with one wonderful and loving mother in their lives and we were blessed with two. Georgette epitomized goodness and giving. She gave freely of herself and loved all us dearly. To my daughters she developed an everlasting bond and they r better for it. I pray she is with my dad and both their beautiful dogs charlie II and Copper Jack. Thank you Georgette May u rest easy and peaceful. We love u.

Georgette was my wonderful, wonderful aunt. Always caring and loving. She and my Uncle Jimmy had the biggest backyard; I’ll always remember the summer family picnics we had! And my aunt was funny — she always had us laughing! We all will miss her, Lovelove
