I am heartbroken to hear of Georgia's passing. She was my dear childhood friend with whom I made so many fond, indelible memories. I feel grateful that I heard from her only a week ago talking about her son. Though we hadn't seen each other in person for years, our conversations were filled with her obvious love and pride for her family. The heart that Georgia had for others is a rare gift to the many people who had the privilege to know her and be blessed by her.
My deepest sympathies to Tim, Steele, Linda, Michelle, Renee, and families.

Miss me, but let me go.
When I come to the end of the day and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is the journey we all must take, and each must go alone.
It is all part of the makers plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to the friends you know and bury your sorrow in doing good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
