Austin, Dennis, Logan and Katherine, We are so sorry to hear about your grandmother and great grandmothers passing. I know this past year has been rough but you have handled everything with such grace. God only throws things at you in life that he knows you can handle. You have been there for her every step of the way. I am also so sorry that I could not be there for you during this difficult time. I am still in Naples. But you and Dennis and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers. Call me if you need me. You know I am always here for you. I love you.

We're so glad that we got to visit with Aunt Georgia last summer and introduce her to our children Annie & Georgia. During our visit, she sat bolt-upright in her bed and said, 'Is the baby named after me?'. 'She is.' we told Georgia and she seem quite satisfied with that thought. We believe that it's a fitting tribute to such a kind and patient person as Aunt Georgia that our little Georgia now age 1 might carry her name on for the next hundred years. Kind regards and our heart-felt sympathy, Bob, Catherine, Annie, and Georgia Stembridge
