My thoughts of Georgene will always be of her constant smile, upbeat personality and resounding panache (Boy did she have style).
I'll never forget her.

To Jeanie's family,

Our thoughts and prayes are with you today.
We have known Jeanie for 40 years, mostly from all the Swedish functions throughout the years.
She always had a good attitude and never complained about her illness.
May your memories and friends bring you comfort.

To the Carlson Family,
Georgene and I were good friends in high school and I remember going to her house and her mom making us grilled cheese sandwiches all the time. Georgene was my dad's favorite and he would always ask me "when is Georgene coming over again." She was the sweetest person I ever knew.
