It seems in recent years we have only visited together at the saddest of times. I will not be able to attend on this occasion due to gall bladder surgery tomorrow. Know that you are all in my thoughts at this time. Bootsie contributed so much to the lives she touched. Her influence lives on in each of us who can say, "She was my friend."

I met Miss Georgie a few years ago at the Meadows. She sat with my mama in the dining room. We would get seranaded all through the meal, every meal. She absolutely loved to sing and she was a blessing to be around. Always a smile on her face and so positive about life. She will be missed, Lots of memories in your hearts. Beth Hollis
