Praying for the family. Such a sweet lady
I am saddened to know that Georgia is gone. I loved volunteering for her at the garden market for several years. She was a “people” person and people responded to her kindness. She was a joy to be with and I am humbled to have know her as my ‘dear friend’. She will be missed by many. Rest with God dear Georgia.
Jeff, Brent and families, you mother has been a big part of my growing up. May you find peace and have many happy memories to carry you through the sadness.
