An expert Yurok speaker, Georgiana will be missed by all. She was a role model to language learners as well as master speakers. Her regal manner and kind heart made me always feel privileged to be around her. xa'gya'ne' whi-ma:lyo'

Georgiana was such a first class woman. Her face would light up when she saw my mother-in-law Ellen. Being the two oldest Sregon women living, they seemed so content to huddle together and share their memories. Our world is so different without them, but so much better because we had the time we did with them.

When I first met her, she had a big smile on, talking about her grandchildren,that she loved so much. She will be with us forever and I'm so happy she influnenced so many young lives in teaching the Yurok Language.

To my dear friends,
My heart goes out to you all because I know we will all miss seeing Georgiana's smiling face. But, I must tell you that the first thing that came into my head when I heard of her passing was the sight of all of her friends and family who had gone before her welcoming hr with smiling faces and open arms. Like Frances used to say, they were together in the "happy berry-picking grounds". A-wok. As you know, Georgiana left a permanent mark of good upon this earth in the legacy that she left for us and our descedents that our culture and language will never be forgotten. I love you all. Gael
