Georgina, so soory to hear about your husband. I remember all of us in the choir use to tease you about making him up because we never saw him. Finally one day, after one of your surgeries, you could not drive and he brought you to Mass and I happened to see him open the door for you. I put the rumor to rest with the choir, "He really does exist, I just saw him". My prayers are with you and you know he is in a better place. Take care of yourself.

Prayers and love to GG and for Richard as he joins our heavenly father. I'll miss greatly seeing his smile and his blue eyes light up when he would spot 'mama' (GG)
