I knew you as Mrs. George. You were always so kind and had an ever ready smile at the junior high. I don't think I ever saw you mad or upset- even once. You always had a smile on your face and you were so kind. You enjoyed your friends so much! You will continue to be a wonderful example to all of us who knew you at junior high and afterwards, when we became adults. You were always willing to chat at a ball game or at the grocery store. You're one of the "greatest generation", those many ladies that we grew up with seeing you at every sporting event, every school event, every church event, never a hair out of place, just sharing the love. You would have put Martha Stewart to shame with your skills in the professional art of Homemaking. You really were one of the elect women from Proverbs 31; we will miss you greatly. I sincerely thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Mary Prater Smith
