      What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman and family! Although I wasn’t around her very much I always thought she was special.
      Loved her smile (Stephanie’s) and she seemed to glow from within. She will be missed but oh what wonderful memories you have❤️

    Georgia was a lovely person who always welcomed us warmly when we visited. Even though I didn’t see her often, I am going to miss her.

    Though I never met Georgia, this tribute gives life to this lovely and elegant woman and the beautiful family she nurtured and enjoyed. Through Toni, I have had storied glimpses of her last year, and feel honored to have been able to see her story in words and pictures, all with touching music. May her family and friends be at peace with her passing after a life well-lived.

    Beautiful tribute. I remember playing backgammon against
    Ed, loser to do dishes after Georgia had cooked us dinner. Also our weekly dine out at the corner pizza restaurant on Friday night when my school and Georgia’s and Ed’s jobs were finished for the week.
    Thank you Toni, for letting me become part of your family . Lots of great memories about you and Greg and the home in Wauwatosa, A home made special by the graciousness of your parents hearts.
    Good memories are what life is made of and Georgia is one of mine.

    What a beautiful tribute to the life and love of Georgia. I am sure that you all noticed that in almost every picture Georgia was grinning ear to ear. She loved life and gave life. She also had highlighted in her Bible this for us from Romans 8:18: “yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later“. She talked often in her last months here on earth of the Joy she was going to have when she saw all of her brothers and her dear husband when she entered glory. Praise God she is more alive today than all of her almost 100 years here on earth.

    I will never forget the love for God Georgia modeled to everyone she met. She beamed all the gifts of the spirit. She always made me laugh even when she was a little down.
    I got a call from her one time. She said that she missed me and asked when was I was going to come and see her. I told her I would check with Stephanie because she always had something going on. She said ok. I asked her if she realized it was 3 o’clock in the morning? She said oh? I get my times mixed up a little lately. I told her thats ok. I feel blessed you were thinking of me. You are the only person I know that could get away with a call at 3 am!
