I would like to offer heartfelt condolences to you all.
I know she held all of you in her heart, as she would update me on your status when we gabbed on the phone, laughing, relating our cultural heritage.

We attended Chinese Baptist Nursery School wayyyy back in the 1940’s. I’m 5 days older than her. Although we attended different schools, we  shared Chinese Community Girls Drill team together, worked for Pacific Orient Jewelers semi annual gift shows, met for lunch. I know she loved going to the movies, despite her difficulty in getting around.

I’m so sorry for your loss, it is very difficult losing a mom. 
Be comforted thinking of all your years together, sharing her love,  compassion, generosity, determination to all. 

Sincerely, Candy

Emory, Elaine and Ernie,
I was so sad to hear of your moms passing. I’ve known your mom, off and on for about 63 years. We haven’t seen each other for sometime but when we did we would talk without skipping a beat and I loved hearing her infectious laugh. When we were in Jr High we used to stretch our wardrobes by sharing our clothes with each other. She would ask me when we were having potatoes at dinner, I asked why....she said I’m tired of rice and want potatoes. I loved that she shared herself...she taught me so much. Holding you in my heart at this difficult time and hoping the memories of George and Norman will lift you up.

Dear Family of George,  We shared life together since Junior High School at Morgan then Shoreline for High School.  Years passed and at our 50th HS Class Reunion many of us were reunited and it was as though no time had passed!  Know your Mother was loved by SO many from our Class and her laughter and smiles will be missed at our yearly reunions...once we can again join together that is.
I personally will miss our phone visits.  She always made me laugh.  
May your fond memories console you. With deepest sympathy,
Karen Schumacher Wolf


Dear Ernie, we were so saddened to learn that Georgie passed away.  We met when you and Brad were gradeschool friends.  Although we didn't see each other much as the years passed by, I felt time was erased when we would see each other @ Safeway or Fred Meyer.  Your father was with Georgie one time and he just smiled and let us visit.  A few years ago she called my cell and told me she had pastries to share.  The surprise was...she was parked in front of my house with boxes of donuts!   I"ll always remember her generosity and fun personality.  I will miss her surprise visits and phone calls.  May there be peace to her memory and may you and your family feel comfort in the days ahead.
 Our deepest sympathy,  The Groves family
  

Elaine, Ernie and Emory,

My deepest sympathies to all of you on the  loss of your mother.  I have vivid memories of first meeting Georgiana as your dad's new bride.  She was gorgeous.  Georgiana was a  beautiful person with a very good heart and a great sense of humor.  During our casino days, we see would see your parents a lot.  Your mom would play the slots with my mom and your mom and dad would visit with us during meals.   Hope you enjoy the attached photo of your parents taken at my mom's 80th birthday party in 2007.  Your parents are together again.  May they both rest in peace and love.

All my best, Sue Mar

Much 

I will always remember Georgiana as a young, fun mother of three who welcomed me into her home and treated me like family.     
She was always cooking for her family, welcoming guests to join in.   Favorite memories include baking shrinky dinks, shadow puppets, the torchlight parade  and eating watermelon outside on hot summer days so we could spit seeds in the backyard.  My childhood was richer for knowing her and Norm.  Rest in peace George
