Dear Owen, Bill, Jeff and families,

I am so sorry to hear your sad news. What a beautiful lady Georgia was! I have fond memories of your wife and mom. What a classy lady! She always had a smile, and I know she loved her family so much. Heaven is celebrating! My dear Dad will be glad to see one of his Plano friends joining him, too, I'm sure.

I'm sorry I will not be able to convey my sympathies in person as we are still living in England. Please know I am keeping you all in prayer.

Sincerely,

Owen, Bill, Jeff and family members:
I am so sorry to read about Georgia's death. I had the priviledge of seeing her @ Rush Copley as I work second shift in the Cancer Care area. You know that she is in a better place. Perhaps visiting with my mother and father. Who knows? All we can do is look forward to the day we join our loved ones and continue living as best we can here on Earth. The old neighborhood lost another good soul. Sincerely and with respect, Becky Lupei Runkle

Owen, Jeff, Bill and families,
Georgia was a special person. She was the life of the party and always had a kind word. I have fond memories of our parents getting together for parties, golfing, coffees and as a young girl going along with Mom & Georgia on an antiquing adventure. She was a beautiful person with a big heart, and will be missed. Our deepest sympathy. Beth & Ed Kawczynski
