We don’t have to tell you how hard it is to lose your Mom. It is a real deep pain in your heart that will eventually will start healing because of memories. We have beautiful memories of Aunt Georgie, when she would come to Arizona and stay with us. She loved making cookies for all of John’s patrol buddies, when they would come over to the house and tell their stories and eat her cookies. She just couldn’t bake them fast enough. Aunt Georgie got to partake in one of our New Year Eve parties. She had a blast. These are the memories that we will carry within our hearts forever. Love, John and Joany
I met this lady only once. She sung part of song that she’d done in a show in her Sweet Adelines chorus in Scarborough. It was a testament to her love of music and the spirituality that it brings to oneself. She struck me as being someone very special; loved and memorable. Rest in peace, her life journey is done.
I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, Georgie. Please accept my condolences and may my prayers help comfort you and your family and hasten the journey of her soul to Heaven. Father Ray
Georgie had a charmed life. It was difficult at times but she always persevered with smiling determination to a happy outcome. God rewarded her in her senior years with comfort, joy, and companionship. May she rest in peace. Eternal is her memory.
