Garry, Mickey and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Georgia. I’ve heard you talk about her for quite awhile. She is now at peace, having lived almost a century. What a remarkable feat. My thoughts and prayers are with you. As they are with you as well, Rhonda.
Gary I am so sorry you lost your mom. That is so difficult but how blesses you were to have her so long. My sympathy to you and your family
So sorry for your loss. What a blessing and wonderful women of God she was. You and all your family are in our prayers. When I think of her now, I think she is with Jesus rejoicing and Judy and other family.
So sorry for your loss I know you all loved her very much
I last met with Georgia in about 2016 or so. She loved to talk about her family history, as she was proud of her roots. Genealogy is the matter that brought us together late in life. She made sure I got a copy of the Moore family log cabin that stood near Windfall. I believe she had the original copy. I will remember her as a lady of great integrity and of dignity–even in the face of life’s hard knocks.
What a wonderful lady and so sorry for your loss. She will be missed and God will welcome her with open arms. RIP Georgia and in our prayers Mike, Judy and Carol
Gary, Mickey your in my thoughts.
Dear Garry, your Mom has many stars in her crown from all the little ones she has told about Jesus and she may have been the first one to plant seed in thier heart. When the Welcher girls took lunch to her house a few years back she was so full of stories about our family that I didn’t know.
She was always the same no matter where or when I seen her. I would love to say “ see you up there”. But I have had back fusion and am not able to get around to much yet. She was a blessing to many people. Karen
Don Howard sent this link to me read about Georgia. Just reading obituary gave me comfort in knowing the people that came before and the ones that are the future will have memorial day to remember the history we share. Thinking of you all… Bless You Connie Kennedy Morehouse and Bill Morehouse
