Please accept my deepest sympathy for I too know the pain of losing someone you love. May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will ‘swallow up death forever, and certainly wipe the tears from all faces.’ (Isaiah 25:8) What a wonderful day that will be!
Toby & Family –
We were sorry to read of your loss. She will always be remembered as a fellow Clarendonite. May you feel the loving arms of God throughout these days of grief.

Dear Toby and family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy for the passing of your wonderful sister. Having grown up in your back yard, she will always be a part of my early life. I will always have fond memories of the many conversations that I had with her over the years. I admired how she cared for your parents when they were ill. I know that when she meets our Lord in heaven she will be rewarded for the kindness that she showed her family and all of us who knew and loved her. My deepest sympathy to all of you but also I celebrate Georgiann for a beautiful life well lived. My love to all of you, (Graciie) Murano DeCecco 1112 Green pine Blvd. A3. West Palm Beach, Fl. 33409
Toby & family,
We are sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time as we lose another great Clarendon friend and neighbor.
Georgianna was a special lady and very competent in her job at the courthouse for all those years. She was missed when she retired, but we were glad she still had many good years to enjoy life after retirement. I enjoyed having lunch with her when the courthouse ladies met for lunch.
