Lynn, Nancy and Aunt Cill, We were so saddened to learn of Aunt Georgia Anne's passing,She was such a character and always a load of fun! We have some very fond memories of her,one that sticks out in my mind is how when we played music together with my dad and she played bass, she always put bandaids on the fingers of her left hand before the gig, I still laugh about that to this day. I'm sure in the days to come we'll all be pulling out lots of our memories of a sweet loving, kind,funny lady! She will be missed.
We're sorry we can't be there with you in person but we will be there with you in spirit. Keeping you all close to our hearts and in our prayers. God Bless you all... Rest in peace aunt Gerogia. Love, Rick & Christine

I am sorry to hear about her passing. I talked to her sister-in-law, Pat Rose, who lives in Newton, KS on Sunday and she told me about it. My Condolences go to Nancy and Lorinda and family. She was an excellent musician like her dad and brother Mizen, and her daughter Nancy.
