Earlene was the leader for our Campfire Girls group that I was in with Jan as young girls. I will always remember very fun times when we would do stuff together. I had a lot of fun growing up with Jan and the George family. Earlene made everything fun and I will always appreciate her for being such a special part of my childhood. Many blessing to the George family and much love to you all.

My Mom was a truly remarkable woman and she will be greatly missed. She was my biggest supporter in life and it will be difficult to go on without but go on I must. That is what she would want. So I will smile at heaven each day and know that my little Mama is watching over me. Love you more than you'll ever know Mom. Cheri
