to Georgie’s family,
I am so sorry to hear that Georgie passed away she was my neighbor here in comstock in Fairfax va we used to talk a lot when she lived here and we spent lots of time together as neighbors and we used to talk on the phone a lot i tried calling her but her cell phone was the only way to get in touch with her and i didn’t know until today that she passed away I am sorry I lost touch with her but I tried calling her cell phone and she quit answering her phone and so i had No idea that she had passed away she is in my thoughts and prayers and the family is to.
At our auction co Pearson Auctions, we called her Gracie because of her way out fun personality. She was special all the way. I’m sorry no one of our large group was notified of her passing. God rest her soul.
Georgie was a valued member of the team when she worked with Pearson Auction Co. She knew antiques and kept us all in stitches with her ready wit. We lost touch with her in her later years, but will always remember her for her kindness and humor.
