Feeney family, Know the deep loss you must be feeling in the death of your Mother. We share so many good times and holidays spent together while you were growing up; wonderful memories! So happy we had a visit with her only 7 weeks ago.

Our sympathy and prayers go out to all of you.

Love, Margaret & Lee Hoelck

Joe, we are saddened to read of the death of Georgia. When you moved your family to Simi Valley, you bought your house from us. It was the house where I grew up, and where Barbara and I raised our six children. We were happy to sell it to a family that could make such good use of it! One or more of your younger children were the same age as our two youngest.

We left Simi in 1981, so we lost touch with you. We did stop by the house several years ago, and had a good visit with Georgia.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Leigh and Barbara Robertson
