To the children of George and Eunice, I'm sure you don't remember us but we were neighbors of your Mom and Dad on Ivygate. Loved them both. We have so many great memories of golfing and just getting together. We were happy to have visited them in Savannah a few times. They made the trip with us to watch our son play football for Furman. You are all in our prayers. Remember the good times.
