Georgia, I will miss you, you were always very good to me, and my family (my Dad, Maurice, and Mario) I thank you, and Pete, and the "boys"!

Thank-you for being such a lovely lady, that I had the pleasure to know, and love.

May God bless, and keep you all, and strengthen you in this time of sorrow.

sincerely,
Sharmaine Hill a.k.a. Charly
