Many phone conversations and strong relationship with her only sister, Judy, who meant the world to her.
Georgia was very strong in many ways; will and fight to live, especially this past decade, Catholic faith, support for her family, hard work and love. She wanted everyone to know in this past week she was ready to go to the Lord and had peace with that. Her unfathomable selflessness will never be forgotten.
